Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
The bodies of the TRX-1, 2, and 3 are identical.The cantilevers and stylii are different.I just had a new cantilever and diamond replaced on my TRX-2.

Anyone using a Lyra Delos yet?
>>06-26-10: ActusreusThe Delos must be in very high demand as I've been waiting for mine for about a month..... Any dealers here who could shed some light on the issue? Most Lyra cartridges must be ordered in advance i.e. there is no existin... 
Should I upgrade my turntable?
Buy a KAB Technics SL-1200 Mk.II. There's nothing close at its' price and even around the $1000 level.The Xpression and Music Halls in comparison are a waste of money.I have no financial interest in any of these products. 
Zu Soul Superfly
Having as much experience with Zu products and probably more than anybody posting here, it is unrealistic for any Zu speaker to perform optimally with a flea power SET/PSET amp be it 45, 50, PX-25, or 2A3.Every Zu speaker, including models with a ...

New Lyra Delos Cartridge
Delos, at its' price and even beyond, is a very high value product IMO. I've found nothing near that price I prefer as much.I'm expecting an order of Kleos soon and very anxious to compare it with Delos.Dealer disclaimer.

I love van den Hul cartridges and was a dealer for a few months in 2009 but dropped the line as the current distributor in North America should be selling used cars not high end audio components.Customer service for them is the consummate oxymoron... 
Amplifier suggestion for Dynaudio Sapphire
I drive my Sapphires with Pass XA60.5, Manley Snappers, and Bel Canto Ref1000M Mk.II.3 entirely different approaches that work quite well. However, the Snappers do run out of gas with challenging source material and/or higher SPL.Great speakers bu... 
Graham Phantom DV XV-1s setup question
I like the XV-1s at 2.08 grams, top cartridge surface level to platter, and loaded at 200 ohms.The XV-1t performs best as above but loaded around 500 ohms.YMMVDealer disclaimer 
Replace OL Illustrious 3 with Graham 2.2?
The 2.2 is a better tonearm than the Origin Live. At its' present pre-owned price a bargain IMO. For the money, an inexpensive way to upgrade your front end. If by chance it doesn't work out, you'll lose nothing except some time.I have no financia... 
Best vinyl stereo press of Hendrix - Experienced?
>>06-17-10: Chazro'First Rays Of The New Rising Sun' - Had Hendrix lived, this would've been considered his greatest record, bar none<<Not a chance.Electric Ladyland is Jimi's masterpiece. 
Brinkmann Bardo
>>06-18-10: DbjainI think the tonearm match with these tables is probably a very important factor<<Totally agree.I'm using a Dynavector 507 II and Triplanar on an Oasis with wonderful results.Dealer disclaimer.

$35 for a $.79 3 prong ground lifter.You can't make this up folks.Oh yeah, it's been "quantum tunneled".ROTFLMAO
