The Great Vinyl Debate
The cartridge is mounted to a small bracket for lack of a better term . The bracket swivels as it is mounted at one spot or a pivot if you will to the arm. I still cant beleive how good it sounded or how well it tracked,but as I said before I just...

The Great Vinyl Debate
Its supply and demand. Simple economics of manufacturing. The more you produce the more you can discount by volume. The smaller the production the higher the costs. Boutique is a good way to describe what was once a massive market.As far as price ...

tube watts vs transistor watts?
Even a solid state amp that claims 200 watts of power does not make it a certainty that if impedance drops below 4 ohms and closer to 3 will it do the job without current. High, stable current with lots of reserve at the ready. Without it watts me...

Music you HATE the most but once you LOVED it
Sounds like a mid life crisis to me! I can't and won't go as far as hating music I once loved to listen to. That to me would be likened to hating or ignoring periods of your own life. It,s nice once and a while to rediscover some of it as much as ...
