Whats on your turntable tonight?
Finally opened my Cassandra Wilson "Blue Light 'Til Dawn" lp set from Pure Pleasure Analogue. This is one of the best recordings I have heard in a while. The disc is extremely quiet. I thought for a moment I neglected to increase the volume after ...

Issa Bagayogo, "Mali Koura" 
System too bassy - Primaluna & Usher
I read that the Coincident CST interconnects were a less bass heavy cable so I bought a set. They work well in my system. 
Ortofon Cadenza Bronze, Blue, Black
Has anybody listened to the Cadenza carts, and the Benz carts to make a comparison? I was looking at a Bronze, but went with a Benz L2 without hearing either one prior to making the choice. Just curious.

Jimmy Thackery & the Drivers, "Sinner Street". The last tune, Blues 'Fore Dawn, brings tears to my eyes. Excellent guitar that really hits home for me.

Do I Need to Replace One of My Drivers?
Yes, check to see if there is any air escaping from behind the driver. I had a midrange vibrating once from air being pushed out. This driver had a seal that failed. 
Survey-What is your most used source?
My sources are being used less and less. Too busy with other things. Sucks. 
Do you indulge when listening to your rig?
Don't drink or smoke. Non-smoking for the health of it. I don't drink because alcohol and I do not get along together. I become an ass and the alcohol only gets pissed. 
Linn Sondek LP12 impressions

Starter System Suggestions
Dodgealum, I'm very pleased with the Sonograms. They're spec'd out down to 28hz which is fairly low for speakers of this size/cost. They are balanced and have an excellent midrange which comes from the 2 inch Morel soft dome driver. My prior speak... 
Starter System Suggestions
