The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

The Ortofon OM carts are a great value for playing Diamond Discs (~$50 - $70, new with stylus). They sound good with their "DJ S" stylus (I use a custom stylus for Pathés). I don't believe I rewired the cart for playing verticals but the turntable is plugged into a mixer with a mono switch. The mixer is a fairly inexpensive DJ type, Numark M6 and it has USB output for direct digital recording. Here's a short video to demonstrate the setup I described, most of the videos on my YouTube channel playing DD's use this same setup.

I have the Esoteric Re-EQ III which I think is nice unit, well built and sonically transparent when switched in, which I ascertain when playing early mono LP's through it.

I am not looking for advice, or recommendations. I am okay with using my iPhone and SHURE microphone. Which has special audio software that I had too download in order too use the mic. If I had wanted advice, I would have asked for it, but I didn’t. Sorry for sounding annoyed, but I am.

All I wanted was hey that’s a cool idea!

Don't be annoyed Be pleased Your innocent post has resulted in lots of good vibes

Awe, that's too bad that people are trying be helpful and supportive. Your lack of appreciation for their attention and polite suggestions is what annoys me. Recall for a moment, the sympathy and support you received here when you announced that you once again lost your job!
