Turntable Shootout

Hear the Difference What’s holding the music in your record collection hostage—the cartridge, the turntable, or both? Through an A/B shootout between two different turntable setups, you’ll experience firsthand the dramatic impact that turntable quality and cartridge selection have on your listening experience. We’ll also compare a system in single-ended (RCA) vs. True Balanced (XLR) configurations to demonstrate how different setups affect sound clarity and depth.
