The FTYFTM savings squandered on mind blowing record cartridge technology

I’ve been looking deeeeply into how record cartridges are designed and was basically - like that is some fucked up shit, just why? fuck them and their fucked shit.

I ended up corresponding with a lead engineer at DS audio who makes an optical assembly coupled with a super light weight mechanical pickup. It solves a lot self inflicted problems with cartridges and record playback in general. The good news is he will eventually also produce a 78rpm compatible version but its a few years out.

So long story short, here is a transfer of a richter melodya rach prelude from a record that hadn’t even been cleaned!!!

I just took down rumble and declicked at 1.0 for some pops in rx7 and nothing else. I haven’t even used the microscope to align it yet.

FUUUUUCK !!!

I’ll clean this record and maybe post more if I have time.

Why do enjoy spending your time on this?

Its fascinating! Also slightly cheaper than drugs.

Better than buying call options, gaining 1000% and then going to zero

And then

Do it all over again!
