| Recordings by Elton John, Nirvana and Thousands More Lost in Fire That is truly tragic...and why I buy as many original or as near as can be pressings of the old standards when I can find them, whether on Ebay or thrift stores. Once gone they are gone. | |

| I'm putting to rest worrying about sibilance There is no need to align to cantilever if it is parallel to the body. If your cantilever is that far off then maybe...but if that’s the case then you have a defective or poorly built cartridge and it should be returned. Plus it’s an eliptical sty... | |
