tube watts vs transistor watts?
Depends if you're north or south of the equator.

best cartridge under $500
Agree with Doug with a single caveat. IME there are a handful of moving coils under $2K that are just as enjoyable or perhaps more than some of these excellent moving magnets. Zyx Airy 3 being one example.However, I'm a big moving magnet fan and a...
