| Benz LP cartridge distortion - any advise? Don C55,I do not know how many cartridges you have had, but heres how you end up with one having 100 hours. You buy new, and run 40 hours break-in, since all carts sound awfully different, in next 50 hours you realise that it is not your cup of te... | |

| Recommend me a quality power cord extender? Audioquest Power strip is the answer for you. I am using it. Everything is perfect about it exept the fact that you can plug in only two "audiophile grade" connectors, not three. (it fits three "stock" cords, though) |
