Respect! I upgraded from Red to Blue and the difference is way bigger than expected! This review is spot on.

Go Red!

Respect 👏🏼👏🏼🎶

I remember watching this review prior to purchasing my TT-15S1 almost 3 years ago and I found it very helpful. And now that I just sold my turntable, I found your unboxing helpful once again to be sure I packed it up correctly. Thanks! And glad to see you’re back with some new content of late. All the best.

Great video. The turntable seems okay, but too many drawbacks for me, as you noted. I think my TEAC TN-5BB turntable is a better value at the same price. It came with an Ortofon 2M Red which is decent but I replaced it with an Audio-Technica moving coil. It has an "s" shaped tonearm with removable headshell which I prefer, and the anti-skate and VTA are easy to access, and it includes a dust cover, lol. I actually prefer it over my Technics SL-1200GR2 since it has auto stop/lift. It's a shame more people don't know about the TEAC.

Thank you!!! my record got dirty and needed a affordable method.

Hi, i was about to return my Cambridge phono amp bc i thought it was defective 🙆🏽‍♂️ i was connecting to phono input thanks to your video now i got it working and is great. Thanks 🙏🏾

Lovely video...collected 45s since '74...they're interesting and it a piece of culture history. Love that you get 1 song on a side.

CDS ARE STILL THE BEST, THEY DON'T WEAR OUT, NO NEEDLES TO REPLACE, THE SOUND IS GREAT

I love my blue. Not sure about cold but it has way better detailed

COLORS! I have a fair amount of colored vinyl in my collection. I don’t go out my way to buy colored vinyl but I do like it. I avoid picture discs for the reasons you mentioned. I don’t like clear vinyl though.

Colors …

Colours. I have a few coloured vinyl records in my collection, though I tend to prefer black vinyl. Must be an age thing lol.

Colors

Colors! Love colored vinyl. Probably about a quarter to half my collection are colored. I deliberately bought a black turntable and Kallax so that when I put on colored vinyl, it really pops and stands out visually. Gives the experience an extra layer of awesome. I usually avoid picture discs because their quality usually is lower than colored vinyl, like you said here. Love your channel! Have an amazing day!

Respect. I have an Ortofon Bronze... it's outstanding...

COLORS!!! 🥳 I love colored vinyl also. I think they’re cool and add to the atmosphere. One caveat tho … grey vinyl is UGLY!!! 🤣🤣🤣 Btw, I have that Alicia Keys record. It’s one of my fave AC albums.

Colours...... The lighting in area you play your records can create swirls etc... on coloured vinyl. I have a few coloured Lps and 7" singles and really enjoy them.

Respect

Respect!

I do have the Ortofon Blue and I agree with you 100%, your review is spot on. The turntable is a an unbreakable all original Technics SL-D2.

Respect! Really great video. I also have the 2m blue on my Uturn Orbit theory. Great cartridge for the money.

RESPECT

Respect! Love Ortofon. Personally, all my turntables have the Ortofon Concorde MKII DJ. Really amazing stylus.

I have respect for Ortofon and yourself. Nice program young man.

Respect. Thanks for another useful video. 🙏🙏

Shout out to the record on display behind you - Emil Rottmayer - Descend. Just streaming it right now on Apple Music, love it!

Respect! I might upgrade to the blue sometime later this year or next year. A buddy of mine upgraded to the blue sometime last year he told me he could hear a big difference. Thanks for the video love your content.

always enjoy your videos even if its about "THE PURGE" im thinking of starting my purge slowly maybe like 5% of my total collection to start (have about 500) so that would be like 25 records to start with, im sure i can finde 25 that have been collecting dust.

I went Red this weekend, and so far, so good. I've only had one album where I think I might have IGD, but so far I'm very satisfied with it. I will most likely be getting a Blue stylus in the next few weeks to switch off with the Red one. Obviously it's not in the same league as the VM95 with either the ML or SH styli on them, but it's not that far off. I can only imagine how much better it'll sound when it's broken in.

Respect. The 2M Blue came with my turntable. I bought the 2M Black partially to be ready when a replacement is needed as well as to compare sound quality. By the time I swap them out and balance everything I can’t compare the difference as my brain can’t remember exactly how the other sounded! Great video as always and one unsolicited critique: your audio isn’t ideal. I’m assuming you pull the audio direct from the phone/camera as it sounds distant and echoing. I’ve bought the DGI Mic 2 and they are pretty awesome. (Although an investment). Feel free to toss my opinion…no offense!

Found the same with the 2m blue, detailed but cold and clinical. I only wish that the Grado prestige gold 2 that I tried last year wouldn't hum on my turn table, otherwise I'd swap out the 2m blue for it.

Respect +

I actually made a few list on my phone a few months back regarding records I didn't play as much and wanted to give them a revisit. Fortunately I still liked most of the albums and I plan on keeping them, but I did trade a few away. I liked this practice and I think I'll definitely keep using it as time goes on.

Intersesting point view, maybe I should be doing a similar video, when I moved from France to Canada I decided to keep my vinyl record and to purge 90% of my CDs, it was a tough choice to make.

The PUUUUURGE Thank you for that insight I'm seminew to the hobby

this is a bit much for 600$. the carbon fiber is really unecessary. why do i need a lighter machine? lol.. i don't think anybody is moving this around. they should offer a basic model for 400 tops.

I own 20 thousand vinyl and 3thousand 7inchers. I've been collecting forever ( even during the vinyl-hating 90s lol). I'm out of room, and don't care to expand anymore. Now, every new vinyl, means one has to go. In the 90s, most vinyl was free or a dollar. I would get Bauhaus, Smiths, Miles Davis 6eye all a buck apiece, but tons of garbage too. I'm slowly getting rid of musicals and Streisand, that I got for free. I don't know what to do after that. They are also still releasing those 90s/ early 2000s albums, that were never available on vinyl ( dave matthews some devil, comes out shortly for example). I'm gonna be out of ideas to justify my obsession lol

You could get rid of that Tom Jones, Platters, and Carpenters but they ain't worth much. You need to keep 95% or else you risk losing out on memories. If you remember it fondly, don't get rid of it. If you hate it on first play and never then really appeals, sure. Get rid of it as in the case of avant-garde or free jazz many will appreciate it and those tend to be limited.

The purge - i'm just about to do a video on this exact topic. I just sold 200 off that I basically have no idea where they came from or what they sound like. I'm thinking of going even more into this. Feels good. It started to just free up space but it's been a bit of a surprise and a truly freeing experience

The Purge- I regularly sell records I don't listen to anymore so my collection is “all killer, no filler” as they say. I wouldn't say I'm running out of space as much as it might be time but another shelf soon. :)

Yes purge the lot for CDs 😆👍

Purged Once , fifty albums , never again.

My issue is finding outer sleeves that dont split, and wont ruin the record covers, im good w the inner sleeves .

Sometimes you find a record , sometimes a record finds you.Its normal to trim the fat, and make room for new records . Enjoy the analog ride into the future. Vinylperv .Subbed

I have been giving the records I just don't seem to resonate with or heard too many times to a 20 year old at work who loves Led Zeppelin and all the other classics. Gave him Doors Greatest Hits, Led Zeppelin Physical Grafitti and Song Remains the Same (actually old presses gifted to me many years ago in beautiful condition); I still have 2, 3 and Led Zeppelin 4. Those are more memorable for me, gave him Jimi He drives Smash Hits (first got a copy in the late 70s when my mom or grandma bought it for me. I now have Are You Experienced which I never owned growing up. Gifted him Van Halen 1984, not really ever a fan of that one. Only bought it because my late online buddy Noel Monks (their manager at the times) name was on it. And gave him Ramones Rocket to Russia because everyone should know the Ramones. Gave my older friend at work STP Core on that beautiful spatter disc, Tom Petty Greatest Hits, ACDC Back In Black and Weezer's first album, which I just couldn't get into. Oh yeah also gave the young dude Pink Floyd Animals (another old press Gifted to me in minty condition and Black Sabbath. I can't remember the title but it's got the Sweet Leaf song on it and the kid loves it. He actually quit recently but he sent me a recording of him playing his guitar and he sounds like Hendrix and Jimmy Page's lovechild. He is a natural. Already taken it to the stage at the local rock club. So my point? You never know who your giving records you just don't jam anymore, too. And you can always buy another copy later if you miss any of them. If nothing else, it's a nice gesture and it's something I find, young folks especially, will remember my old nearly 50 yo ass by. I use to make mix cds for my friends 8 year old son in the late 90s and early 2000s. He still talks about all the old punk jams I use to burn into them.

I did recently THE PURGE of 4 records I wasn’t crazy about and I traded them in for 2 CD’s.

Donate Them...Dont Waste Them...

The Purge 💀 ( love the whole series)

we definitely have some that we need to get rid of. just need to take the time to go through them. but then what... do we donate...
