| How NOT to sell an item on Audiogon I´m defending serious sellers and serious buyers here. For both there´s nothing wrong with Bank Transfer. PayPal is always risky business for sellers as it nearly always take buyers side. All honest sellers hate it because dishonest buyers misuse ... | |
| Dynavector cartridges, old and new Thanks for warning, I really appreciate your input and your honesty, your enthusiasm in so many ways here at A´gon. | |
| Dynavector cartridges, old and new That´s the point indeed. I personally would buy a NOS or even used Karat 17D(2 or 3) than the ridiculously priced Hyperion not to mention the Ortofon Anniversary. The latter ain´t worth its price, it just can´t be that good. For that price level I... | |

| Dynavector cartridges, old and new Sure it would be very interesting to read his reviews on much more expensive carts, vintage MC kind and modern FC (of Soundsmith) kind and other "exotic" designs, in near future hopefully. That would be fun...Actually some time ago I was very inte... | |
| Are there any Delphi Oracle Users Who Can Comment Hah ! Michell is a toy and actually apes ORACLE and its suspension is just a clumsy effort. DELPHI and PREMIERE are true high tech and High-End decks, in every aspect like its hanging suspension system in particular, one of the finest suspended de... | |
| Dynavector cartridges, old and new That was funny, but I think he won´t mind.Seriously, for me a texter is a writer and what a great writer he is. His approach to cartridges in particular is actually very scientific and usually he is right IMO because he uses his true HQ gear metic... | |
| Elapsed Time Counter for Tracking Stylus Life I´ve kept meticulously record on every stylus I play since my first true HQ cart, way back 1987. I know exactly the true hours and the status/condition of all my stylii. I also have learned to notice dust/dirt/residue on stylus tip, even on pro cl... | |
| Dynavector cartridges, old and new Chakster, you got a slightly off-centered cart off eBay or whatever? Then you were just lucky this time as you may have received a junk instead. Keep your slightly off-centered sample as you can adjust your headshell to its spot position. A few de... | |
| Greatest Rock Drummers Jon Hiseman RIPYou really are the greatest. My humblest thanks for your fantastic MusicCOLOSSEUM LIVE - rock´s best live album, from the fantastic early 70´s | |
| Cartridges: Complete Scam? Mr. OP, Why dontcha buy a vintage PHILIPS RR 522 radiorecorder ? Taping classic rock albums of the day and listening to them on BASF and AGFA c cassette tapes again and again more than 40 years ago lead me to audio Nirvana, well or at least Nirvan... | |
| Who Is An Expert On Acutex Cartridges? For sure and being IM type one of the main reason. ACUTEX M320 STR III is the best of them all in my system. I bought one 5 years ago as guided by Raul the Seeker, Dave the Messenger and Vic the Magician | |
| Are there any Delphi Oracle Users Who Can Comment +1 ^ORACLE DELPHI II Gold/Black (and III Standard Aluminium) w/ original GROOVE ISOLATOR using SME III and HQ MM carts (SHURE ULTRA in particular) beats LUXMAN PD 444, Goldmund Studio and ORACLE DELPHI IV by a country mile in all the SQ areas IME ... | |
| Shure to leave the phono business SHURE ULTRA 500 is very hard to beat and ULTRA 400 ain´t much easier | |
| Cassette Tape I use the same cassettes I bought in early 70´s, both at home and in car. With a few exceptions all of them are as good as back in the day, mechanically and in sound quality. I buy new and vintage cassette tapes off eBay. Never liked digital´s dul... |
