I'll get this done today. I’ll have to experiment with the video to highlight the sound problems (it's a little more involved than just showing a warp).

Not that there was ever any doubt about what's coming next month, but someone posted the rules for a sweepstake a wee bit early, allowing it to be crawled by search engines. Whoops.

I checked mine again and its poppy on side a and warped on C but no distortion. Maybe I need a better cart

Haha. Now you make me want to slap on my Nagaoka MP-110 on to see if the distortion is still audible.

Likely the distortion will get worse the higher up the cart chain you go. In my guess.

The more you spend the worse it sounds rule. Its a standard

Yeah, I'm thinking the AT150sa I'm currently using would be the worst of those I have for picking it up since it's a Shibata. I can quick swap a MP-110, an Ortofon Red and a spherical for fun to see. Might be a project for later tonight.

Ahhhh yep that could be, I swapped to a Bronze and the distortion definitely lessened on my first copy.

What headshells are you using? I'm thinking about mounting my old MP200 to use on beat up knackered old bollocks but I ended up down some absolute rabbit hole full of mentalists arguing about mass and effective distribution when I tried to dig about to see what goes well with a technics. Turns out headshells make people on the Internet furious! Properly livid they are

I think I’ve seen the jelco ones come recommended around here. Plus if you have it give it a go, it’ll either sound good or not, the internet talking heads can disapear up their own arses sometimes!

They're insane. Masses of pages of dudes chucking data about to demonstrate frequency variables when they add 2, 3, 5 grams. Who has time for that shit!

My AT and the Nagaoka are on headshells I got from LP Gear when I got the carts and the Ortofon is on the original Technics headshell that came with the TT. The spherical is a white label and it's basically it's own mount so doesn't need a headshell.
Honestly, I didn't put much thought into it. Should I have?
EDIT:
It's this one, but I remember it being cheaper, maybe because I bought the carts with it.
LP Gear Ultimate Headshell
Check out the deal on LP Gear Ultimate Headshell at LP Gear
EDIT2: Now that I look into it, that LP gear headshell looks a lot like, as in identical to, a Jelco HS-50 headshell.
