| Denon DL-103 "one of the...." I agree with Mapman. Excellent cartridge. | |
| Audio Research LS2 vs Audio Research SP16L Maurizio...congrats on your new preamp! Enjoy the music!! | |
| Grado Reference Sonata re-tip Yogiboy is correct. Not only the Needle Doctor, but almost any Grado dealer can do this. You send in your cartridge and they will send you a new one. The price for your Sonata is $400.00. That's why I went with Peter's retip of $250. If you want t... | |
| Driving a power amp with an integrated amp? As long as the integrated amp has separate preamp outputs, then no problem at all. | |
| Grado Reference Sonata re-tip Several years ago, Peter did both a Sonata and a Master for me. I thought that both sounded as good if not a tad bit better. They seemed to be a little smoother. | |

I was the one that moved it several times when we were trying to figure out what was wrong with her... | |

| Martin Logan Odyssey power supply board testing Glad to hear you solved the problem! Feels good to fix it yourself, huh. ML has really increased all of the repair part prices. If you ever check with them on the prices of new panels, make sure you're sitting down... | |
| Do cables settle in? IMHO...yes. George Cardas is a big proponent of this and I've actually heard him demonstrate this several times with his cables, (I was a Cardas dealer for many years).http://www.cardas.com/insights_break_in.php | |
