| Why do better MC cartridges cost a fortune? Herzan platform? What's this?.Yeah, I was talking about $10k cartridge replaced every 1.5-2 years without any big discounts and generous trade-in policies.Generally speaking, I think $10k - $15k cartridges are really only for those who already did... | |
| Underspent on speakers relative to overall system? Still, eventually there comes a time when if you want a jump in performance you have no choice but to replace your treasured speakers, and often even used this will cost. | |
| Sanders 10e Great. I'll put them on my list, along with Lansche and Kharma. Right, we can dream. | |
| Why do better MC cartridges cost a fortune? Bill, if I remember right you have Lamm ML2.2 amps and Avant-Garde speakers, and you use Kubala Sosna cables. If I were you I would definitely wanted to try best Purist Audio and Echole cables. The outcome of this comparizon is unknown, it may be ... | |
| Why do better MC cartridges cost a fortune? To repeat myself - cartridges don't last long if you play them a lot, they are disposable elements in the system. If you buy $10k cartridges in a number of years you will have spent $100k. How does it sound to a reasonable ear, $100k for cartridges? | |
| Why do better MC cartridges cost a fortune? Rich people are as diverse as the rest. What is often true is that my 10 dollars is their one dollar or less.Also, not all audiophiles who have great systems are exactly rich.

| PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium Preamplifier. DESTROYS SPEAKERS!! This situation definitely must be clarified or it will hurt the company too much.As a general note, buying anything made in China carries additional risks, no doubt about that. And I see no good reason for respected manufacturers to even consider it. | |
| Why do better MC cartridges cost a fortune? If I were those Japanese cartridge makers I would take the prices much higher, say, $50k for top of the line models. All Japanese makers, they know how to talk to each other. How many would still buy them? Enough, I guess. | |
| Why do better MC cartridges cost a fortune? Couple of years ago one could get Lyra Delos for $1k or so from the UK. That semed reasonable. As for Sumiko and lesser Koetsu, though I am unfamiliar with them, there is an opinion that they are not really good enough. There is also $1.5k Goldrin... | |
| Kharma speakers. Anyone has them ? There is one for $33k or best offer.. | |
| Long distance between preamp and power amp No , no adapters, they degrade the sound and also might create electrical disturbances.Some RCA cables like better Purist Audio will give you no or minimal signal loss. I don't know if it would make sense to use XLR/RCA cables. | |
| Why do better MC cartridges cost a fortune? Anyway, Japanese and some others cartridge makers love audiophiles. And not just cartridge makers. They feed on obsession.I heard that Accuphase costs half as much or so in Japan, don't know about Kondo Japan and Wavac. Americans can be funny too.... | |
| Why do better MC cartridges cost a fortune? I heard that too, that you can get at least some Japanese cartridges directly from Japan. Sometimes, even buying from the UK is less expensive. American prices on imports are often bloated because..you know why. Yes, $10k for a great cartridge tha... | |
| Why do better MC cartridges cost a fortune? Dave,You are a big thinker. | |
| Why do better MC cartridges cost a fortune? One does not contradict another. What you said is obvious and that's why I didn't even mention it.Yes, I hear enough people putting $3k cartridges on $3k turntables and playing them thru $2k phono. This will not be bad, this will be stupid. |
