| Gold Note PSU10 , anyone yet get one? @slimpikins5 Thanks Clakster for pushing the 100K ohm impedance, you were 100 percent on target. You're welcome. Glad you like it. I found this setting mandatory especially for tube based system. | |

| About to Buy a Technics SP-10!? Am I making a mistake? @mijostyn Yes. Never buy used TTs or Cartridges unless you know the first owner well.

| Do MC Cartridges Deteriorate over time It depends on the hours of playtime, stylus must be retipped after 500-1000 hrs. If the damper is fine (you can check it) then you don’t have to worry about it. Most of my favorite MC cartridges are 35 years old, some of them still unused or even ... | |
| Just picked up three new cartridges to play on a KD 500 with Grace 707 with a Shure M75ED. Also will any have the potential to be better than the Shure? Surely it’s Grace F9, F14, LEVEL II with huge potential over your Shure cartridge. Also a Grace cartridge must be on Grace tonearm (you already have Grace arm) if you want the best syn... | |
