| Advice on best mid priced MM cartridge choice for Rega P3 (2016) This may be a little out of your price range, but you might look into the SOUNDSMITH CARMEN MKII. The OTHELLO is a little less expensive, but I have no experience with that cartridge. You can't go wrong with the CARMEN | |
| Has anybody tried using single solid core cables? I'd like to add my 2 cents to the long list of responses above, pertaining to solid core cables vs. "whatever".

| ...do great speakers increase in value over time in the vintage market? The best example I can tell you of are GOODMANS OF ENGLAND - "AXIOM 80" Loudspeaker driver.
