Ortofon MC Cartridge Problems ?? defnitely try an audio technics ART9 XI. superbly robust and much better sound than the quintet. | |
Ortofon MC Cartridge Problems ?? bummer, sorry to hear. fyi the quintet has a saphire cantilever that is fairly robust in my experience. you should definitely clean it more than every 25 plays! as to the failure, it has to be one of these possibilities- 1 user accident.... | |

Transients hurting my ears on hifi solid state amps THE OP's BUDGET IS $2000 ! | |

My Medium List of Amplifiers and my Personal Review of Each ! Sure- Preamp- Cary SLP-05 Speakers- Spendor D7.2 Congrats on the amp- definitely give it at least 50 to 60 hours. I was ready to return it after the first couple of days. | |
