Fact or misinformation?

I was embarrassed for the guy.

Didn't want to challenge him, since it's his setup.

Wasn't even an exotic setup. The "exhibit" was lukewarm and he played the system way too loud to showcase the setup.

I did get to enjoy it on other setups. I got the LP  US cleaned at the Kirmuss booth by Charless Kirmuss. Kind of lengthy process, if you do the steps in his setup.

"i always have a fire extinguisher on hand when i listen to mono lp using my art9"

 jss49- yes, the mono LP's I play on my ART9 sound amazing. IMO, best "value"

cart that gives you an idea what the hyper carts do.

Sadly, it was the owner of the retail establishment who gave me the no-go request.

One exhibitor confirmed my thoughts as to why some wont. If he puts on a request that isn’t popular, he risks driving out the traffic in the room. I get it, so I make them during lulls in room traffic, or I their LP selection is similar to what I’d like to hear.

I’ve gone to shows over the last 3 decades and that one was a first.

I also got the vibe the dude really didn’t want to take request and just spit out the goofy excuse in hopes I wasn’t informed. Sigh.

 "Spending Thousands of dollars to get a mono cartridge as good as the stereo one for 30 records seem a bit odd almost as bad as buying a reel to reel to play the 30 or so prerecorded tapes that exist."

mijostyn- I guess the guys with disposable income, are the ones who reason"-what the heck?"
