| Who needs a Diamond Cantilever...? 💍 @edgewear I took my revenge last week, winning an auction for the Victor MC-L1000, another of those classic cartridges I simply must hear. I remember another comment from J.Carr who said the MC-L10 is the most balanced between 3 direct couple typ... | |

| Best Analog for $10K So many ways to spend $10k on vinyl system you're asking for. Each one will post what he's personally like, it might be hundreds of completely different opinions, why it is important for you if you have never ever heard any system of the contribut... | |
