Switched from RCA to XLR Interconnects - WOW
I also know that albertporter, a member who's got very high end set-up used to have 6 Meters long Purist Audio Dominus RCAs, don't remember from phono to preamp or from preamp to amp, and reported no noise at all, not to mention great sound and ap...

Elizabeth, precisely.

I don't think Lamm uses XLR at all. This is surely a junk of an equipment. What kind of nonsense do I read ?  
What is the average lifespan of a phono cartridge?
Yeah...not for me, anyway. And if some vintage MMs sound as good as you say they do, it makes even less sense. But then the problem is that there are not enough of them for everyone. Some will think that $5-$15 for an hour of listening is still ac...

Maybe they are already coming, just from reading our posts. 
What is the average lifespan of a phono cartridge?
Well, not my case, but some cartridges are extremely expensive, and I am quite sure that many audiophiles having them will want them to last for a very long time. You normally don’t throw away a perfectly good $5k or more cartridge.

Sometimes it goes like this - there is peace to be found on the other side of war. I hope it's not the case, at least not fully.Anyway, the best posts of music are mine. 
What is the average lifespan of a phono cartridge?
What's the best one can hope for, any stylus ? 3000 hours or so ? 
Do speaker cables need a burn in period?
That would be quite an average listener. With Purist Audio cables that I have I heard no or almost no difference after 300 hours, interconnects or speaker cables. In higher resolution system - maybe. Jim Aud of Purist says 300 hours for his better...

They mostly want Asians reading posts and buying up most of the stuff. That's our worth here. Have a nice day if you can.

Come on, anyone could find couple of thousands if it looks promising. I don't mind membership fees either, not too high and not too low or it would make no sense. 
Opinions on best integrated under 10k?
It's easy to find out if Gryphon would convert to 120 V. Good step up transformer, not $50 Chinese, should be alright with Gryphon, I suspect. Overseas transactions would worry me more than this.

Long overdue to create a new forum for enthusiasts. First class/second class membership ? Maybe we should pay Audiogon to stop it.Or even better buy Audiogon. I can see there are enough people here who don't really know what to do with their money...
