Super Cheap Placeholder Cartridge
If you can spend just a little more, the Ortofon Red at $99 is a killer cartridge.The Shure M97xE is really good also and can be found for around your budget.

"The Breeze"
Peter...yes, I still have my Feedbands subscription. I haven't had a chance to listen to the new one yet. Glad to hear you like it.Hey, I wanted to publically say how cool and fantastic it was of you to give a pair of your speakers to Eric Leefe. ... 
"The Breeze"
I've had the CD version for a few weeks now and have listened to it several times through.The first few songs are pretty good, but it does indeed go downhill from there.I also had high expectations, but overall, I am disappointed in the music.I wa... 
Upgrade question. Rega RP3 or RP6.

cd-r music for blanks
I use both the Maxell and Sony. I haven't had any problems with them.I've heard, but never actually used, the Mobile Fidelity Gold Discs are very good. They're kinda pricey though.

"Holographic" presentation
IMHO, a "more holographic" presentation has nothing to do with whether the amp is a monobloc or a stereo version.Circuit Design, implementation and parts quality has way more to do with sound than if the amp(s) is/are a one piece or two piece desi... 
Can anyone help me?Please
"As good as these sound and as well as there made and sound they must be worth a good little bit."Probably not. There are very few "vintage" speakers that retain any value. Sounds like these were more of a local or regional item.If they sound good... 
Shotgun connection
I shotgun my cables and use option 1 like Al suggests. I have always done it this way.You would have 1 "stick" of cable that would normally be for both + & - , but in a shotgun configuration, these would be twisted together for EACH + & -.... 
We get into a GROOVE.
Matt...My interpretation of what Slaw is saying is that "new" vinyl pressings aren't as good as what was once available?I however do respectfully disagree. I've stated this many times and maybe I'm just the luckiest bastard on the planet, but I sp...
