| Your last concert was to see who and when? I just got back from closing weekend of Dead and Co at the Sphere. My daughter drove to Vegas to join me, she is now on the bus. It is a joy sharing music that you love with your kid. Great shows. John | |
| Cartridge Upgrade Recommendations So I went with what @karl_desch recommended and purchased the Koetsu rosewood from my local shop, the owner and his son just left after installing it on my turntable. All I can say is WOW! The depth, weight, and detail is simply stunning. I am ama... | |
| Cartridge Upgrade Recommendations I am curious what you would do in this situation. I have found a Koetsu Rosewood signature that has recently been re-tipped for $3150. I would need to find someone to come and help me set up my cartridge as I have never done that. Option two... | |

| Integrated that blew you away I am going to agree with @larryi. I have had the A40 in my system and wish I didn’t sell it, I would now like to use it in a secondary system. Has a great built in DAC as well. If you want a bit more power the A100 is a nice upgrade. The only reas... | |

They work best when placed in the corners of your room. Here is a nice pair of Here is a stunning pair. I have the Audio Not... | |
| Cartridge Upgrade Recommendations Thank you @jasonbourne71 and @tooblue for your recommendations, now time to do some research. There is a tremendous amount of knowledge on Audiogone, but what I read in the analog forum is often times way over my head, but I'm learning. John | |
