| Interconnects and non-believers Elizabeth,If you want to try some relatively inexpensive power cords that sound great, try the Oyaide Tunami from VH audio with Furutech F-11M ends. You can assemble these pretty cheap. I went from the Pans to that & it was a nice upgrade. | |
| Grado Stylus Upgrade Just ordered the XTZ today. Should be a couple days before I receive it. Any recommendations on switching the stylus's out? I can't seem to find the nifty tool that came with the signature cartridge (for this purpose) when new. | |

| Whats on your turntable tonight? I was at the record store today as well & bought a few used ones. Starting out with Mick Fleetwood / The visitor. I had Elvis Costello's "Trust" in my hand but the overall cost was getting to high so I put it back. Next time... | |

| Well Tempered/CROFT/Harbeth...London SG or NAGAOKA Thanks lewm, bummer it's not as good, since that is what's available new. I bought a jico for my empire 4000 d/lll & am breaking it in. It sounds great on most albums & fairly bad on other albums that really sounded good with my clearaudio... | |
| Well Tempered/CROFT/Harbeth...London SG or NAGAOKA You may want to check out Raul's very long thread about MM cartridges. He started it 1-15-2008 and it's still pretty active. Raul liked the Nagaoka 50 super. Not sure how the 500 compares to that. | |
| Grado Stylus Upgrade He is certainly an audio legend. Do you remember what table he used? | |
