As a young boy I was most impressed by the writer Erich MariaRemarque. He wrote about soldiers and their willingeness todie for each other. I agreed in principe. The book in questionwas ''Im Westen nichts neues'' (Nothing new in the West).I will b... 
How much difference does a phono preamp really make?
The right question should be about carts ouput. Not so much relevenant for MM kinds but well for MC kinds. By thosethere are: low output , mid output and high output kinds.In order to reduce the moving mass the real possibilityis to reduce winding... 
TONEARM DAMPING : DAMPED OR NOT ? ? USELESS ? ? WELCOMED ? ?
mijostyn , what you call ''asumptions'' is the same as ''assertions''.We all think in the same way: we start with some assertion aspremise which we think is true and deduce from this assertionour conclusions. But first logical rule is: ''if the as...

A pragmatic view of cartridge expenses / many questions
If the assertion (premise) is not true than deduced statementsfrom the assertion can't be true also. In +40 years in this hobbyand more than 60 cartridges I never wear out any of them.Is there such thing as ''imagined wear''?  
Cartridge Opinions - Sorry
Dear chakster, your skeptical attitude against retips is curious.First thing is the fact that no manufacturer use their own cantileversand styli. Those are produced by big Japanese jewel companies. The same apply for repair services. That is to sa... 
Cartridge Opinions - Sorry
Dear Raul, My point is that questions about ''all carts'' make nosense. This in contradistinction with particular cartridges. Youown the most carts among us while your capability is to judgetheir quality. We all profited from your contributions ab... 
Cartridge Opinions - Sorry
