| How long do speakers last? Well, I pulled the trigger, thanks to the "push" (read "good information") from you all. Thank you for the knowledge to be able to make a sound decision on. The clarity (compared to my Klipsch bookshelves) and depth of soundstage if remarkable. On... | |
| How long do speakers last? @mijostyn "Think of putting a girdle on an elephant." Thank you for that visual! : ) | |
| How long do speakers last? @oscar44 That's funny! @gdnrbob I'll reach out to see if parts are available, Good advice! @mijostyn As it turns out, I can solder, so I'll look into in when Cap replacement time comes. Not that I'd do it (I am more of a traditionalist), but I c... | |
| How long do speakers last? Thank you all for your replies. There is some great wisdom here. Considering how little I am paying for them, the worst case is I can just sell them without a loss if I don't like them. But from all accounts they should be great speakers that... | |
| What should I expect moving from MM to MC? @ronald_p Great point about the used market. Definitely a way to upgrade and save some money at the same time. Mani 2 has arrived and works as advertised. I'm going through my albums on different eras and genres. So far I wall say there are nota... | |

| What should I expect moving from MM to MC? Based on all the feedback, I went ahead and ordered the Schiit Mani 2. I'll start there. It gives me the option to move to a low output MC cart if I want to in the future. | |
| What should I expect moving from MM to MC? Thank you @lewm . Your response makes sense. I am going to look into the pre-amp first with my current setup. From there I can dabble with the cartridge, if necessary. I'll look at both of the recommended ones. | |
| What should I expect moving from MM to MC? @tablejockey I like the idea of the pre-amp. A friend of mine recommended this, as well. Do I then route the pre-amp into the Denon amp phono inputs? Or other? | |
| What should I expect moving from MM to MC? Thank you both for the responses. The Denon amp is set up for MM only, but I read that I can use an MC High Output cart with no issues. A few points/questions: 1. What I like about the Sumiko carts is their broader frequency range. The RP-500M's... | |
| Static electricity I do have to say dryer sheets, followed buy a carbon fiber brush have been 90% effective here in the cold, dry Detroit area over winter. Not perfect, but effective. | |
| Aftermarket Upgrade Question @holmz Honestly, sound advice (no pun intended). While I have taken care of the first three, the tracking force and alignment points I need to address...thank you! @lowrider57 I am hardwired (AudioQuest Goldengate) into my Denon PMA-600NE,... |
