Hifi rejuvenated

My turntable has been lying idle for a few years because the cartridge has a broken stylus and the turntable belt is slack. So my LPs are collecting dust in the cupboard.

My biggest harvest for this Hong Kong trip is being able to source a replacement belt and also bought a new cartridge ( SHURE M97xE ) in Apliu Street, the famous flea market in HK.

Wow ! look at the secondhand hifi sets offered for sale there, really air liuh meleleh ............

Back home , now my hifi set never sound so good before. The Shure cartridge (RM360) is a higher grade unit than the Ortofon VMS30 I had. Furthermore I am using a better amp and speakers now.

see, no 'needle'! slack & hardened belt


I wanted very much to visit this place. Finally I was there.




My spanking new cartridge

Enjoy !!! Let the music flow !
