| Cartridges & Sensitivity to VTF Txp1,Thanks for the update. I'll be interested in your findings when you give the Ruby 3 a try at 1.85 grams and try the tail down.Dre | |
| Cartridges & Sensitivity to VTF Sirspeedy,Your point is well taken. For me, this is an exercise in understanding more than absolutes. I understand that this is all system dependent and I thank you for the comments.Assuming the overall system is capable of resolving the differenc... | |

| cartridge imbalance help please Fran,I posted to Agon before your post showed up. Glad to see it was something else and not what was stated in the original post above. The good thing is you don't have to dig this deep in your situation. Maybe this will be useful for someone else... | |
