However, it also made clear the importance and central contribution of the cartridge.The role of the two transducers, cartridge and speak... | |

Then I was convinced to buy them by watching the above video!The stick with the small motor attached o... | |
| Top 5 Reaons to NOT BUY A TURNTABLE. Steve G is a nice guy. So it seems. Agree or disagree, he presents information in a pleasant manner. And speaks well to the up and coming audiophiles. I have enjoyed watching several Of his videos. | |
| How do you listen? There seems to be a consensus-75 to 80ish db.That is exactly how I listen. Going to the symphony, I have never had the experience of feeling the sound was too loud. Unlike listening to my system.Rock concerts are a different experience. Especially... | |

| What do audiophiles do in their cars? The furthest dip I will take from my main system is my headphone office system. Once interested in a car system, I now will not listen to music in the car. On Serius/XM in the car I listen to cable news. | |

| Telling musicians to evaluate and choose their instruments in a “scientific” way? Especially acoustic string instruments, regardless of measurements, sound vastly different. And measurements, as in HiFi, only tell part of the story. They do not measure tone. In guitars (or violins), the artistry of the builder, method and mater... | |

| How much does power amplifier really matter comparing to other hi-fi components? Clearly, speakers are central. However, you can get and use a perfectly great speaker that is not that pricey. An “honest” transducer need not have the big scale of a large, expensive speaker. And matching your speaker with your amp is also centra... | |
