Paper cone woofers died in 1962 .... a look back
Had a pair of Leak Sandwich speakers . Very good sounding on low watt tube amps. Look them up. IIRC foil and styrofoam? Sorry about no paper ref. 
ZYX Optimum phono cartridge - a defining statement
@lewm Thank you. I would have thought that cartridge design and build had been settled science long ago minus the exotic materials. MM, MI, LOMC, HOMC. Not much new under the sun. 
Why all or most audiophiles are men?
@jtcf  Thanks. I think she wised up. Told my friend -stereo and vinyl nut and musician- he's to be the executor of the stereo stuff when I'm gone. Smart cookie.

Turntable Mat question
I have a KD 500. Using the original mat. Sounds fine. Are there particular ones I might investigate for this turntable? Only if you have personal experience. Theory only goes so far. Thanks.
