| Pickering XSV 3000 replacement stylus- are they worth it? Sure, I’m happy with XSV/5000 and low impedance XSV/7500, both with original styli. Superb cartridges.

| Technics SP10 MK3 Restoration Cast iron contains a high percentage of carbon, that's why when you machine the dam stuff you get so dirty. He is just trying to make it sound like something super special. Makes me laugh. That part of Pennsylvania has quite a few pattern shops ... | |
