MC-MM-MI CARTRIDGES . DO YOU KNOW WHICH HAS BETTER QUALITY PERFORMANCE? REALLY?
@drbond  really?!  
Records not stored vertically for decades
@recordguardian what an "interesting" scenario of albums stacked up willy-nilly next to wood stove or fire place.

I am trying to figure it out how horizontal records storage causes warping. If anything it ought to flatten them. I could be wrong, I have been wrong before.  
MC-MM-MI CARTRIDGES . DO YOU KNOW WHICH HAS BETTER QUALITY PERFORMANCE? REALLY?
@rauliruegas well, I think that that comparison to LIVE performance is a very complex issue. Again based on my experience, there are so many factors in live performance sound quality, depending on venue, listening location within the venue and not...

What is the quality and performance level of Fluance turntables??
OP, so do not remember that you asked exactly the same question six months ago and had it answered by this community?  
Your absolute top ten favorite tracks.
@grislybutter same here! @notnow0329 do you have any extra copies?🤣 My latest find for testing dynamics of a system: Make Us Stronger by Ghost Rider.  
Stereophile review of the $30,000 tekton speakers
@tektondesign "If you thought it through for 30 seconds you’d discern the advantages to this approach." and earlier "Hard to fathom a top-notch reviewer not discerning audible jet sounds coupled with Nora Jones and Diana Krall!" this does not ma... 
phono stage help please.
