TW-Acustic Arm

Robm, if you're going to point a finger at TW that's fine.

So long as you point one at derblowhard as well.

But he and his flight attendant, syntax, get extra frequent flyer miles for chutzpah.

Now boarding, the Humility Express. Non-stop to Munich.

I know I am hard to stomach for you and some others right now<<

Like a root canal without novacaine

Provided you get a real life.

Over many decades of listening to vinyl, I've never heard a cartridge that changed so significantly that my opinion went from poor to great.

And vice versa.

IMO, a cartridge's sonic character/personality is very apparent during the first few hours. Sure, there are some refinement and evolution but never a night/day difference in my experience.

YMMV

Audiofeil,
I have had your experience as well. Waiting for a cartridge to break in and never opening up.<<

Well thanks but that wasn't my point. What I meant to convey is a cartridge's sonic character does not change appreciably over time.

Many become a tad more polished or refined but I can't think of a single cartridge I've owned in the past 50 years that has undergone a personality transplant after 25, 50, or 100 hours.

Sorry if I wasn't clear.
