Wow, another thread goes bananas. Is this hobby about writing endless posts about cartridges, a never ending quest for a new (or new old stock) and improved sound, or about enjoying the music?
It's SXSW time here in sunny Austin. Shortly I'll get off the computer and go enjoy some music. Played by musicians who, for the most part, could care less about the difference between one cartridge or another. "The music" is so much more than what is reproduced by my audio system. Anybody else regularly have an amazing response to music that is reproduced over a cheap car stereo or computer speakers? At those times, I remind myself that the fidelity- high, low, or in between, is only one factor (often a not very important one) of why music is so meaningful to me.
