| Carts for Audio Technica AT1010 tonearm? I'm looking at an AT-1010 at a good price right now. It has been suggested elsewhere that low compliance cartridges suit it best. It would replace a Sumiko MMT, which has an effective mass about the same as the AT-1010. I am running MM and MC cart... | |
| What’s in your system today that you also had 10 years ago? https://forum.audiogon.com/users/audioamy@audioamy, the Oppo DV-980 H is so cool! But I bought mine used in 2015. Still have it even though I got a BDP-95. | |
| Class D is just Dandy! "I don't know why people have to defend or overly praise Class D compared to other amplifier topologies when the end result is if you like it then keep listening." - @sfseayThose defenses, explainations, and informed opinions are what helped motiv... | |

| Gonna have to ditch the Soundsmith Carmen II If you do send your Carmen back to Peter, and I think you should, please do let us know how things turn out. Your considerable commitment to get the best out of the cartridge are a testament to the sound quality on the whole. This makes me want ve... | |
| exceptional voices of female singers (non-classical) Thanks for the tip, @chrisoshea! Did you notice Lisa Fletcher? She's another one of those 20 feet stars that stepped up front from background. | |

| Did you know....? Pendletons in Southern California? A little too warm, I would think....That David Bowie's first wife, Angela, claims the Stones' song Angie resulted from her catching Bowie & Jagger in bed together nude? | |
