Hi all,
I hope you guys can help... My dad has an Akai AP-100 turn table the stock PC-100 cartridge and an RS-100 stylus.
This was not used in quite some time, and he'd like to play a couple of LPs again.
What phono pre-amp whould be worth getting that will not break the bank?
Also I've seen on http://www.vinylengine.com/library/akai/ap-100.shtml the following:
"Description
The Akai AP-100 turntable can also be used for 4-channel stereo operation.
For SQ or regular matrix 4-channel, the unit can be used with Akai model APC-4 cartridge and APN-4 stylus.
For CD-4 system 4-channel, replace the cartridge with a stylus for CD-4 use - this is all that is necessary for CD-4 operation.
After this change is accomplished, connect the turntable to a 4-channel adapter."
Is this a viable route or are the other cartridges & styluses that would be preferred?
Thanks!
