Dynavector XX-2
Comparing the UNIverse to the XX-2 is apples to oranges. The Zyx is a great cartridge; the Dyna a very good one. However, at its' price the XX-2 is a good value.FWIW, regarding the frequency measurement argument simply disregard it as audiospeak r...

Speakers cables that are warm yet detailed........
Thanks. I checked out scottishcableknit.com and ewecables.com but the sites do not provide much informationI'd like something warm yet detailed, articulate not mushy, transparent not edgy, but most of all neutral. To be more precise I'd like them ...

Can I clean my records manually?

Anyone know of a good pressing of Stickey Fingers?
I also played my original copy of Exile recently and it is quite pleasing. Hlmiii says the only copy that is "OK" is the UK version. To his ears in his system perhaps, but the US version is fine with my gear. Better than Sticky Fingers, Beggars Ba...
