Where is it made/manufactured?

Awesome stuff man. Thx for all your awesome content! Happy New Year!

How much do you spend? Ridiculous really.

I'm super happy you loved you gifts! The moment I found that 45, I thought of you automatically. I know The Destinations were big locally in Philly, but never made it big nation wide. . . WHY?!?! Their Amazing lol! I got that Salvatore Dragatto as well, and Colemine used my description in their last community post on the release day(I said it had a Western Horror film vibe lol). Also, I did see that Jimmy Scott on your Discogs and was intrigued. I have a Seth Macfarlane record that he sings this title song They Say It's Wonderful that sounds AMAZING! And, I've been eyeballing a Jimmy Scott record that was released in 2016 titled (I Go Back Home, A Story About Hoping And Dreaming) that is a limited edition numbered copy and he has a couple songs on it with Joe Pesci. I streamed it, and it's a very heartwarming album, just all around amazing as well. Happy New Year! I'm so excited for you and the channel and what 2025 will bring, I see you on the way up Up UP. Much Love Brotha Man.

Yea man! Killer end-of-year video. Amazing stuff for sure. Excited to see what's cooking for 2025. Happy New Year

Great list! Thanks your making me spend a bunch already in 2025🎉

Great review man thank you

How would it compare to Technics 1500c? Similar price in Europe.

how high end of a turntable should you have for 2m black cart? I have a Fluance RT 85 which came with a 2m blue.

I bought a Nova when it came out. It works great so far and for my collection (250 albums) it is adequate. It definitely does what it is supposed to and at the 6 min setting dries just fine. Time will tell how long it lasts.

Hi, thanks for the review. I will be happy to see more reviews of mid tier audiophile grade reprint...I actually bought this one after watching the review. That being said do you find Sam voice being pushed slightly behind all instruments. Especially for the first track on A side. The rest i feel are more balanced or maybe my ear adapted for this type of presentation but I felt that his voice should have been positioned in a more forward manner. To be honest the instruments sound amazing bit still...he should be the star of the show...or at least i feel so...

Hi great review, I'm currently looking for a upgrade. I currently have the 2m blue on my Technics SL-1500C which is going via an Audiolab 9000A via Monitor Audio Silver 100 7g

Where to get this!?

Cassettes doesn't have to sound bad at all as you mentioned in clip. In fact they could perform like cd's. Skip the pre-recorded and record your own music on a good japaneese build cassette deck, like Technics, Pioneer. Use fresh premium cassettes from Maxell or TDK and then you can enjoy a fantastisc sound quality even on your FIIO.

Outstanding video. Top tier quality. Keep them coming.

Hey, please forgive me if I'm wrong, but on one of your videos, I thought you said if you buy a Box Set, you take out the Records/disk's and store them separately. Why would you do that??? The Box is the main thing, that houses the package. The Box makes the package cool to look at. The box often comes with cool artwork. What you do, is a waste of a cool package. Sorry man, but I don't understand why you do such a thing??? Like I said, if I heard you wrong, I apologize. Cheers Martin

Somebody around here needs to buy a Denon 103R.

Maybe the Bronze is an upgrade from the Blue, but I binned my (one month old) Bronze the moment I heard the Nagaoka MP 200.

If I could spend a grand for an ultrasound record cleaner I wouldn't have to reuse cleaning solution. That said, I've had great results with a manual Vinyl Styl (the Knosti record clamp looks very much like the Vinyl Styl) and the Spin Clean solution. I also like the tactile aspects of manual cleaning. But I'm also the guy that grinds my own coffee beans and brews the pour over and French press methods. I appreciate that you showed the unit flooding your table. It could be a design flaw or material shortcoming that can't withstand shipping. Maybe they could ship the units with the plugs not installed. Great review! Honesty is always king!

Damn, two camera set-up and a very cool conversation. Excellent.

Hello All! I am new to turntables and have a question. I have a fluance ft85 with the ortofon 2m blue and I just purchased a zen phono 3. Do you all have a recommendation for the settings on the phono stage with this setup? Oh lastly the speakers are Kanto Tuks. Thank you all for any guidance

Power supply is probably linear, and not switch mode (a big transformer block inside)

Dont be surprised if this performs far better than so called Hi end..

Finally a presentation that is precise and full of info. I'm going for level 2 and ditching Spin Clean. Definitely a tub of dirty water. I'm putting together the VAC33 vinylvac. Their process makes complete sense. I can't afford to get stupid crazy on the ultimate cleaning system for my 200 records

At the beginning of the video you say no one else is talking about this turn table, that’s a lie, there’s at least 5 videos I see about the LP7 that were made before yours. Also what’s the point of unboxing and setup without showing how the belt can be setup? Strange choice.

Most excellent box set exterior I’ve ever seen. Looks spectacular!

I’ve got a brand new Crosley cruiser and this record only sounds ok in my opinion.

Not really a criticism but all your shots of styli in a record groove seem to show a shibata type next to an elliptical or even just a conical? Whereas a micro-line is cut to ride deep in the groove as well in a similar way to a shibata..

Hi there. Great info on this unit! Both of my tables are B&O Beograms (RX-2 and TX-2 Tangential) and sound awesome. The TX-2 has pretty much no inner groove distortion. Both units are running a Nude (Solid) Diamond Hyper-Elliptical Stylus. I’m looking to purchase something new with matching fidelity after my last two cartridges bite the dust. How’s the inner groove distortion on the RT85 with the Ortofon Blue? Oh, and thanks for mentioning the VTA specs on this unit. Big help!

Glad I found your video. I purchased a used @M Black cartridge as I was eager to try a MM cartridge to see if it was more compatible with my preamp (lower noise vs. MC). when I installed it, however, it sounded good, but it rode very low on the record. I was afraid I had gotten a defective unit because of its low rider appearance. I was trying to save up for a replacement stylus, but having seen your video I plan to try mounting the cartridge again. Thanks!

Hasselblad > Leica

I don’t think you can swap op amps in this unit. The op amps don’t appear to be socketed op amps

I have the cd/dvd box set from Rhino 😂❤ i thik that will do fine thahk you .

It's a very 'heavy' and 'deep' album, that affects me emotionally like no other, no matter how often I hear it, I'll never get sick of it.

I have the older Knosti manual record cleaner and I can say that the cleaning fluid that they supply with that system definately leaves a residue.

Nice but this news is already old because the flagship AT is the new AT-LP X8 direct drive, sorry!

Awesome man! I think that's amazing that you can switch out stuff to enhance the sound! Much love brotha man. Also, I hope your stuff gets to you safe and before Christmas 😁

The 2M black is a great cartridge..... however, if you want a big upgrade for not much cash, the Quintet black moving coil does sound significantly better all around! In my experience, the Quintet, though more expensive, is a better value.

Well done review! Informative and well produced. I have one of the bronze units on order and am looking forward to giving it a go. I use the original Concorde bodied cartridges fitted with various custom stylus for archiving and digitizing old record formats for many of the reasons you touched upon. They are quick and easy to swap out, sound good, and I find the low mass and narrow tip design to track problematic records very well (warps etc).

Great review! Keep in mind that the Concorde Music cartridges are not designed for DJing - they will not hold up to backcueing or scratching without the risk of breaking the stylus. For DJing, you will want the Concorde MK2 DJ series models.

Great review. I have the Analogue Productions 45 rpms of all but “Waiting…” & “Soft Parade”, and I also have the DCC pressings of the debut and Strange Days. So I Definitely don’t need this box set, but I Will get the Rhino Hi-Fi “Waiting for the Sun” when they release it individually. The AP 45 rpm version of LA Woman is the Definitive pressing, sonically.

please tell me which is better to buy, all six AP 45s or this new box set? What sounds better in the end?

Sweet

I went with the music blue. Bronze was almost 3x the price!

I have that same exact cassette. You'd be hard pressed to find it for a reasonable price...or if you can find it at all. That album also turned 25 this year.

I'm so glad you revealed the SPARS code right off the bat.

Waoo superbe ! Ont peut le trouver ou et à quel prix ?

Excellent!

Did you get the ZZTop Rhino box …it’s amazing
