| Cartridge Longevity? You don't say whether you had the arm checked or not. If it's just inner grooves that bother you, as you indicate, then alignment and/or the arm could very well be the problem. Check the over hang to make sure it's correct, as well as azimuth, and... | |
| Anybody happy with high power Krell? I have had Wilsons with Mark Levison gear run me from the room, I'm not sure the Krells were necessarily the problem there. I have owned several Krell amps over the years. My current one is a KSA 250. Before that I had a pair of the KMA 100 mkII, ... | |
