Nice, congrats. I use the same cart on my Denon. It's a nice cartridge.

Check this out. Vinyl is the new MP3!!!! One of the vinyl stores I go to closed shop recently. It'd be nice to go a local store and browse bins for NEW music.

That article makes a lot of sense and has some good and entertaining replies. I kind of fall under the new vinyl user group. A couple of friends have turn tables and I love the sound. We've played the same records on CD(not SACD) and vinyl and most of the time we prefer the vinyl version. Thanks for the link!

I finally got home and unpacked the turntable and the reviews were spot on. The thing is very well built and can be appreciated even by gearheads upon close inspection. I'm impressed and pleased at the same time. Makes me feel good that this thing will might live as long as I will \:\)

The downside is that the cartridge isn't here yet so I haven't been able to listen to it. The tracking number show's it as AWOL so I doubt I'll get it tomorrow either.

The Best Buy near me has been selling them since the beginning of the year. I have yet to jump back into the turntable scene again, though.

Take a look at the Needle Doctor, they might have a replacement.

Do you think the Needle Doctor is one of the better online sources?

Sadly I caught my 4 yr old dragging the stylus across my Cuban jazz record. \:\( It's scratched and OM10 cart is toast. Good time for an upgrade.

Thanks.

Just because you like the site doesn't mean you have to marry it.

Does anyone have a suggestion for an OM10 upgrade?

The Shure M97xe looks like a good option. I'm trying to stay below $100.
