| Need New MM Cartridge Recommendation Raul, with all due respect I don't need you to tell me what music sounds like at a live performance. Sweetness is, for me, found in the nuances and undertones. I have had a few MMs that miss a good part of this. Just curious, and directed my post ... | |

| best value current production tonearm I have a question and don't want to bother Vic. What is the range of cartridge compliance that works best with the Terminator/TP3 Pro? BTW I can't imagine any TT/tonearm which could be more straight forward as to setup and function. I hadn't had a... | |
| if you had my system and $2,000 budgeted for an upgrade, where would you spend it? Room Treatment. Floor to ceiling in the corners, first reflection points. I use GIK, they have very nice art panels. You can DIY it as well. I, like you, made my own rack with 3.5 in butcher block and brass threaded rods. I will go along with Rau... | |
| Zu audio advice When I got back on the music appreciation hobby and researched everything for about a year, really researched it to the point of reading books on active crossovers, Floyd Toole, Jim Smith's Get Better Sound and a few more my prevailing thought was... | |
