Cartridge Advice Please
@jjss49  - Thanks, will do some research on dynavector @tablejockey - Good idea to keep AT in mind.  I see lots of positive things and big fans of their high end cartridges.  That ART-20 does seem like a good candidate to keep an eye out for a de... 
Ultimate test of bass - Lana del Rey's A&W
@durangoat thanks for that referral....something about hearing an actual instrument that makes the results in your room so much more satisfying;  no offense to the OP as I sometimes enjoy electronic music but it is mostly overdone for my ears and ... 
What should my heirs do to dispose of my vinyl and CDs?
@hifiman5  One idea is to search your area for donation options.  Check out what a collection sparked here in Memphis.  They continue to accept donations. They keep new additions that are in good condition and have sales of the rest to help fund ...

What CDs to buy
@bdp24  Thanks for the ideas....from your earlier post it didn't seem that you understood my objective.  CDs are new to my world since becoming an audiophile with a true hi-fi system.  I suppose I do have expectation that the SQ from CDs will exc...
