I have a 2003-era Stanton turntable. After I purchased it, I read nothing but horrible things about them, so I've been a bit wary of it since, but it's been an OK deck. To be honest, I don't know much about needles and tonearms all this jazz. I just wanna toss drop the needle on the record and forget about it. Anyway, I ended up wearing out the needle that it came with, so I bought a Stanton DS-3. I popped it on and gave it a disc I didn't care about in case I did something wrong. During the first listen, my girlfriend turned to me and said, "Would you be upset if I told you I think it sounds awful"? She can't understand why I store my CDs as FLAC rather than MP3s, but she immediately noticed a difference compared to the stock needle after not listening to any vinyl for a whole month. I agreed, it really does sound awful. I don't see any way to make adjustments to it. Can I do anything about it? Or should I just replace it outright, and if so, what's good that won't break the bank? I've been eying Rega decks today. If the Stantons really are that bad, should I just take the plunge? I wish there were a place I could audition such things..
