| Which is best: 1/2 speed, 180g, Jap, Mobile Fid? Thanks so much. I am finding it to be exactly asyou say. I asked because it can get real expensivewhen you buy a Japanese import mint for $50-$60 andthen wonder if a MoFi or 180g would have had bettersound. I can't afford to buy one for each press... | |
