Dear Nicola,Thanks for your very kind offer, I may take you up on it if other sources do not come through. I contacted the pizza seller directly and he only has what is listed on eBay.it; the M312III however, was a incredible buy for the money and...

Dear Raul, Thanks again for the info on the Goldring G800, it may be the best sounding cartridge that I own. Bass is incredible as well as dynamics and micro-details. This is all without a re-tip. I am using an NOS aftermarket Astatic stylus with ...

Hi Raul, Thanks for the 'heads up' on the G800. I was able to locate and buy one right away for $36.00. It comes with a non original (aftermarket) stylus. Do you think that will affect the re-tip process? Should I be looking for a NOS stylus befor...

Xenophobia is as American as Apple Pie and should be 11th on the Bill of Rights. Personally I will no longer buy from any merchant or seller in Canada. Why? Because there is always a problem; it's either the seller, Canada Post, customs or all thr...

COMET SUPPLYRaul, et al:I purchased a Denon Dl-S1 from Comet Supply about 2 months ago. Initially I was impressed but the sound did not improve with break-in, actually it began to sound worse. Turns out that the suspension was bad and finally coll...

OK Guys:April 1st was APRIL FOOLS DAY and now it's over! Chopin666 really stirred things up here. Do you think maybe that's what he had in mind? And is now laughing his ass off while listening to his cherished 103R.John 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Danny,I am somewhat ashamed to admit that I have only played 3 or 4 sides with the Mf-300, so it's too soon to form an opinion but my initial reaction was positive. I have been enjoying the Empire 4000D/III way too much (especially with Emmylou's ...
