Stylus/Cartridge Change

I upgraded the cartridge/stylus to an Ortofon 2M Black PnP MkII. I enjoyed the Ortofon Concorde Elite but wasn’t quite satisfied with it so I returned it. I was able to find a 2M Black plug-and-play edition brand new for a great price so snagged it. The sound quality to my ears is night and day compared to the Concorde Elite. I was previously using an Ortofon 2M Black on my last turntable and loved it. I went with the 2M Black PnP MkII version for its ease of use no aligning etc just plug it into the tome arm set the tracking force and anti-skate you’re ready to go. I think I am now super satisfied with my new Technics SL-1200 MK7.

Going Forward

Hi everyone.

First, thank you all for your touching comments and emails regarding the passing of Olivia Newton-John. They have meant so much. I’m not gonna lie, it’s been a rough week. My initial plans were to post all this week, and then my partner and I were planning a vacation next week, but then we got the sad news of Olivia’s passing on Monday and my world sort of stopped. I knew she was ill but did not expect this to happen so soon. Many of you have sent messages asking me to post ONJ material, but honestly, I cannot even listen to her music without getting emotional and crying. My love affair with Olivia began at the age of eight years old when my aunt took me to see “Grease” in the summer of 1978 after that I was Hopelessly Devoted and have been a massive fan ever since. Olivia was like a second mother guiding me through my life journey. I am so grateful for that.

At the moment, the plan going forward is to take my planned vacation next week while trying to get over this huge loss and then resume posting the following week, August 22. I will also be announcing another ONJ project that I have been honored to work on in the coming days.

Thank you for your understanding.

Love & Light, Paul
