Is there an ideal (ish) cartridge output?
This question is ''other way round'': which phono-stage for whichoutput?  
Is there an ideal (ish) cartridge output?
Dear frogmn, You get support from those phono-pres producers who build phono-pres with 4 amplification stages. They then recommend the lowest possible amplification for the used cart.The reason is ''the higher mplification the higher distortions''... 
Is there an ideal (ish) cartridge output?
Dear Lew, Is your praise of ''your'' Ortofon MC 2000 not incontradiction with your statement about ''output''? As faras I know this cart has the lowest output ever(?) 0,05 mV.Besides still one of the ''best ever'' despite its age.  
Is there an ideal (ish) cartridge output?

Your thoughts on upgrading Feickert protractor
Are you serious? chakster protractor CAN'T be improved. It is already the best (grin). 
Two Turntables? Why
The most TT's have only ''place'' for one tonearm. But if oneuse MM's and MC's one need two different tonearms. So eitherone TT with two tonearms or two TT' s with one arm. Except,of course, those who collect TT's for their own reasons.  
How much will you pay for an exotic cartridge....
Contracts apply only for the parties involved. The ''third persons''can't claim any right to others contracts. Judicial simplificationis the reduction to ''creditor'' and ''debtor'' relation. So the importerhas an contract with manufactirer with m... 
Opinions on best tonearm clips/tags Cardas, Mitchell or does it even matter
chakster, Curious statemnt from somone who think that partsare very important. The most clips  are made from bronze withan thin layer of gold. There is not much sense in using expensive(silver) wire for the headshells with 8 of those bronzen clips.  
Opinions on best tonearm clips/tags Cardas, Mitchell or does it even matter
The best are Clearaudio. They look like Mitchel's but are  platedrhodium . Recommended for all ''fast headsehlls tonearms'' andthose who own  mqny carts.  
Koetsu Urushi opinions?
Pal you can't read.
