| cartridges/styli--what's a good choice? Which ortofon do you have? Many of them 5,10,20 will take an upgraded stylus. Personally, I like Goldring better for the money. | |
| Do you need full-range speakers with great subs? What's your sub? It can make a huge difference if you have a 90 watt no-name vs an 18" 400 watt velodyne? | |

| Need cabinetry/shelving advice My Sota is on Ikea now but is usually on shot filled salamander. Personally, I'd go with a wall mount in my concrete wall if I could decide on the location I liked. Keep in mind how much room the dust cover needs when opened too. | |

| Removal of plug/wall outlet - hard connection ? Insurance would be void if there was a fire?Keep it safe and spend the $40 for Hubble hospital grade and see if that helps. Much safer too. | |
