A life sentence!!!

@dynamiclinearity +1 “My Technics EPC 100 MK4 moving magnet cartridge with bandwidth that gives any moving coil a run for the money"

somehow ppl are shy to discuss why MC needs double of track-force (needle pressure) vs advanced MMs.. problem with MC is a bending force for four wires of moving coils, while moving magnet stylus is free and only hangs on damping buffer..

higher track force means harder job for diamond and vinyl groove.. 

As I recently typed on another thread:  they will have to pry my SLP-05 from my cold dead hands.

I am relatively new to the world of audio. My appreciation is growing.  I hope to build a system around a pair of Tannoy GRF Red Cabinet speakers. The learning has only just begun.  
 

I actually thought to sell them, but it seemed no one wanted to pay what they are worth. So I will keep them and build my system.  Let the learning begin.  This forum is great. 

@bdp24 : My choice of the Quad ESL makes two mentions! I have two pairs. I suppose as an alternative choice I can add my Rogers LS3/5A's. They certainly take up less space!

Oops @jasonbourne71. I think you makes it three, as @whart mentioned he still has a pair of QUADS up and running. I too have a pair, but they’re still down in SoCal in storage. I gotta bring them up to the Northwest this Spring.

I have all the planar loudspeakers a boy could want: Magneplanar Tympani T-IVa (upon which the MG30.7 is modeled), Eminent Technology LFT-8b and LFT-4, and QUAD ESL’s. Plus a pair of ESS Transtatics, which feature RTR ESL tweeters. That was ESS’ top-of-the-line loudspeaker (introduced in 1970 I believe) that preceded the Heil AMT-1. It uses KEF dynamic drivers for bass (the legendary B139 woofer, also used by David Wilson in the original WAMM) and midrange.
