MoFi controversy
It will make a lot of harm for the record industry. Especially for premium products. Sales was rising so well especially for premium records, now this trend can change.

180g new vs. NM used
LZ is a very good example as original vs remaster. I had most of LZ remasters and sold all of them. But it's not 100% true in all cases - some remasters are awful some are good ones. I am always looking into price difference in Discogs if remaster... 
Tube sound Comes, mainly, from? Pre or Power?
My phono and pre have output transformers. So mea culpa - I like speed of proper output transformer. In both amorphous cores and in phono it's silver wired. If to add sweeties into the mix easiest way is to change output tube in phono. If to speak...

10 Inch Tonearms

Opinions needed-fatigue
Just heard the same in big room with a little bit newer cartridge Shure V15III and more high end system. You can tame it a little - lower VTA (look tonearm height adjustment in manual) and try increase / decrease VTF to see what happens.

Shure V15ii Does it have bonded elliptical stylus, not original one?+ medium mass tonearm 
I want to ask about deutsche grammophon's new lp vinyl.
I doubt about recording it to master tape or direct to diskDG is still missing audiophiles.They are still selling a lot of CD's in Germany.So it's digital due to various reasons.

Who needs a Diamond Cantilever...? 💍
Chakster it's funny but the biggest blob of glue is on Technics.With laser it's possible to inscribe Chakster on diamond tip.Although it's question of money and time. Who'll pay for that?
