Whats on your turntable tonight?
Steve I'm glad you're enjoying PJ! I love that record. 
What phono preamp are you using?
If you want to get a Herron, you better act fast.  Keith said he's only going to make a couple more and I just ordered one of them.  It'll be a couple of weeks before I get it, so I can't comment yet on quality, but I have his monoblock amps which...

@lewm If you're saying that the total cost of the DL-103 and the re-tip is a better value than many other new cartridges, we are in total agreement.I won't post what he said here, but Andy has a strong opinion about the Zu "upgrade".

I was only pointing out the total cost to someone starting out from scratch. I was commenting on the quality, timeliness, and affordability of Andy's service, not recommending that someone send a new perfectly good cartridge to have it re-tipped. ... 
Ayre K-5xeMP vs. Electrocompaniet - EC 4.8 MK II, or others?
I own the Modwright LS 100. It's one of the few things in my system that l never think about upgrading (though I'm sure there is better, maybe someday). My Ref 1s sound amazing and holographic, with great imaging. The LS 100 is very neutral to my ... 
What are you streaming tonight?
Fleetwood Mac - Live (Deluxe Edition) Qobuz Hi-Res.  This sounds wonderful so far!

@lewm I'm not sure I understand your question or the logic behind it.  Any re-tip is the cost of the cartridge plus the re-tip.  The cost of the re-tip however is a fraction of the cost of a new cartridge of similar quality.  In this case, the car...

I know this thread is a little old, but wanted to share a recent experience with Andy Kim.  Some time back I bought a Technics SL 1200 MK2 that came with a Zu Denon DL-103.  To put it bluntly, it sounded like crap, lots of distortion in the left c...

King Crimson - Three of a Perfect Pair. Another audio treat.

The Yes Album. I hope the new 45 RPM Friday music version I just ordered out does this one.I just got a replacement Jico SAS for my Shure V15 Type IV. This one sounds way better.

Bowie - Diamond Dogs. Too bad it's warped. Going back.

@grey9hound I don't think my system will play that loud!  Unless I put my Klipsch Quartets in.  Careful with those ears my friend!   
Sellers: When do you drop your price?
I often keep things listed for weeks or months before dropping the price. I'm never in a hurry to sell things though, it's always something that I've made an upgrade from and want to find a new home for. If you need the money or want it out of you...

@tomic601 I currently have my Bluesound Pulse speakers set up in my office.  My ARC VSi55 tried to catch on fire and is in the shop.  Needless to say they are a bit of a step down from my KEF Ref 1s, but they keep the music flowing.  I sold my Nod...
