Is it the beer or do speakers/electronics really need some extended warm-up period?

Why do better MC cartridges cost a fortune?

Does it get any better?
I don't know what you have but I think in the end to make it significantly better you'll have to get bigger and better room. Room creates ultimate limitation, and you have to tune the room.As for the actual cost of the speakers, it will depend, in...

Why do better MC cartridges cost a fortune?
Now that's the price of a record !Yeah, electrical power is a never ending struggle. Here, in addition to a very dirty current, voltage fluctuates from 115 to 128. PS Audio Premier does stabilize it and cleans it pretty good, but if it is too bad ... 
Why do better MC cartridges cost a fortune?
Looking at all this from a different angle, sometimes you want to upgrade, have a specific amount for this and start thinking what exactly you could upgrade. So it might turn out to be a very expensive cartridge because you can’t upgrade turntable...
