Advice on Tonearm/ Cartridge combo
I had issues with Grado's Reference cartridge with my SME 309. Every time I would play one of those 45 rpm LPs, the first minute or two were unlistenable. I replaced the Grado with an Ortofon Cadenza Bronze and it was much better. Now I'm using a ... 
Audio Physic speakers
 My room is 13x21. Soundstage is great, but bass is lacking. I was considering moving up to the Midex or Codex but went with something else.  
Audio Physic speakers
I have a pair. See my post below about Bache Audio Tribeca speakers. If you’re in Long Island you can listen to both speakers at my place. That said, while I think the Tempos are fun speakers, the Tribeca’s absolutely smoke them. 
Recommendation for an audiophile speaker cord that is not "bright"?

I thought the Bache speakers sounded nice. 
Has anyone done any business with Quads Unlimited lately???
Wayne rebuilt my 57s back in 2005, then again in 2012. The first time he had them for 2 months. The last time he had them for nearly 2 years! He did a fantastic job but never again.

I have both a Loricraft and a Kirmuss. The process using the Kirmuss is lengthy but I get better results compared to the Loricraft.
