| compliance For low impedance version you need SUT or High Gain MC phono stage, I sold this cartridge long time ago when I compared it to Stanton Signature model CS-100 (it was much better in my system).Now I have low impedance Pickering XLZ-4500 and XLZ-7500... | |
| Analog upgrade path It can do alot of things and alot to like for the price. hard to do any better below 1000 usd Why do you trust people who never owned good MM cartridges ? You’d better ask for a list of cartridges from the owners of Goldring before they will tell ... | |

| compliance I have all the rarest Technics cartridges, the last I received few month ago is p205 mk4 (NOS), I’m still a bit afraid to try it. Before this NOS sample I had the 205c mk4 (6 of them), 205c mk3 (4 of them), 100c mk3 (two of them). I had an origina... | |
| Is It Time To Sell My Vinyl Rig? I can check but classical titles are rarely all that valuable unless it’s a Johanna Martzy or something like that. The other problem would be selling that rare LP that’s worth $2,000.00. A record to me is only worth a lot if I’m able to sell it. Y... | |
