| What albums, in your opinion, sound unquestionably better on Vinyl rather than Digital? More appropriate question could be - Which cds sound closest to records ?Of what I heard, Cielo e Terra by Al Di Meola and Siroco by Paco de Lucia. Both analog recordings but the latter was digitally mastered. Still, it is quite a distance from vi... | |
| Best MM? Some kind who studies people not cartridges. | |
| Best MM? Now I know who is brainwashed. Get out of here. | |
| 110 (or 120) vs 220 Check acupwr.com for transformers. I never tried them, they just look good enough to me. They don’t change frequency, though. Whether it matters or not depends on particular equipment, consult with the manufacturers. There are frequency changing d... | |
| Best MM? Calling them brainwashed imbeciles is a bold statement and an insult, unless you can prove it. You did say "we all", though. Who is we ? | |
| Best MM? I am sure that MC people will profoundly disagree. I am also sure that some of them tried many both MM and MC cartridges from all time periods. I am very neutral in this debate and couldn't care less about which ones are better or just different. ... | |
| Have you ever downgraded deliberately? So, downgrading can be good, it might give you an opportunity to think about how to go higher than before, helps you get disengaged from your current "junk" you are in love with. | |

| Would someone please explain how 'gain' functions? Al, thank you. With my current integrated minimum is at about 6 o'clock and max I don't know. Anything beyond 11 o'clock is unbearably loud with much higher distortion level. My normal range is 7 to 10. So I guess I would be fine if I still used t... | |
| recommendation for speaker wire to soften the highs if possible How can you be sure that Monster speaker cables cause it ? It can be anything or everything. In any case, don’t buy unless you can return, or willing to sell what doesn’t work for you.You don’t really want to soften the highs, you want a balanced ... | |
| Have you ever downgraded deliberately? Unless you need money or move and no longer have space - why?I don't care about value, I care about good sound. Best value is the best sound you can afford. | |
| Best MM? My question was exploratory, I have no intention to replace the Goldring for as long as I hear improvements in sound whenever I make changes somewhere else in the chain. Until the time comes to replace the stylus. Then I might try different cartri... |
