Cartridge break in
5-6 weeks of play about 40 hours can make some difference. I couldn't wait and recorded an album onto my Nakamichi Dragon right after I got my new Benz S cartridge. A month later I rerecorded it over just because I read about cartridge break in an...

Rega Saturn or Sony XA5400: Sound or features?
