What makes a high $$$ cartridge high $$$?
I went from a $500 cart to a $900 cart to a $1200 cart to a $2300 cart using the same table, arm and set-up device. I found improvements in each scenario that made the pruchase worth it.Of course, some prices just seem to be playing into what Kmul... 
Schumann Resonance and it's effect on music
You can probably just get one and demo it for yourself as opposed to speculation. I know "tweek geek" will probably let you do this. Let us know what your impressions are. Could turn out to be the newest "hot" thing, after microwaves of course.

Robert & Alison-Raising Sand
Knownothing, I have it on vinyl like I stated. I think it's well done and like a few others my appreciation for what this duo is doing grows. I think some folks dislike this album because it's not Plant being Plant or Krauss being Krauss. Outside ...

EL34 Lovers?
That's an interesting question Pubul. I to have been told with my modded JH 50 that most other tubes besided my current JJ's will sound mushy, slow, or lack detail. This will probably not stop me from trying some out though as i ascribe to "in you... 
Stealth Audio Dream Petite
Dev Nice set-up! Truly biwiring the stealth dreams! Now that is fantastic. Tell me, how do you do that with these speakers. I was contemplating getting them internally biwired but decided to forgo that for now. Can you explain the hook up process ...
