| What is the “World’s Best Cartridge”? Personally, I think this forum needs more voices like yours. I hope you reconsider. | |
| What is the “World’s Best Cartridge”? Absolutely true that there are many ways to approach this subject and one of those ways is never losing sight of the importance (for some) of NOT separating the act of music listening from the process of building a system. To do so is an approach ... | |
| What is the “World’s Best Cartridge”? Dear @rauliruegas, I have been a member here for many years and have learned the hard way that it is often best to not engage in one-one dialogue when there is obvious and strong disagreement. I prefer to simply put my opinions out there and anyo... |
