    I'm a vinyl enthusiast and I live in Brazil. Here the information is very scarce. My intention is to listen to vinyl records and I currently have a Marantz PM8006 Amplifier, Elipson Prestige Facet 8B speakers and a Turnable AT-LP1240 with Ortofon 2m RED.
    I want to change my capsule, I wanted to buy an ortofon 2m black. However, I was unsure whether I should also change my AT-LP1240 since it is more aimed at DJs (I didn't really understand this at the time I bought it).
    My question is: Should I actually change the AT-LP1240? I thought about purchasing a Raga Planar 3 or Pro-ject RPM 3, or perhaps even a Pro-Ject 1Xpression. Is changing the record player really recommended? Should I really get another sound experience with better quality for my purpose?
    I already know the capsule is terrible and should at least go to an Ortofon 2m Silver!
    Thanks to anyone who can help!

    Great video, what do you recommend as an upgrade to the Pick It Pro MM cartridge ? It’s not clear if the pick it pro is similar to the silver. Could a blue stylus slide on or should one go up to the Bronze? Cheers

    • @AudioAdvice
      @AudioAdvice  2 роки тому +1

      Thank you. That is a European model, but based on its price, the Blue would probably mate up to it, however we recommend you check with someone who has more knowledge on the makeup of the Pick It Pro. Thanks for watching

    • @davef4722
      @davef4722 2 роки тому +1

      The Pick It Pro is basically an Ortofon Red but finetuned by Pro-Ject/Ortofon especially for the Debut Pro.
      You can indeed use an Ortofon Blue on this cartridge (nude Elliptical instead of the regular one the Red an Pick It Pro).
      If you want to use a Bronze you better also change the cartridge. It will fit the original cartridge but you'll never will get the full quality/advantage because of internal upgrades of the cartridge for the bronze (nude Fine line) / Black (Shibata) stylus.
