Pro-Ject Debut Carbon DC with Ortofon 2M Red Cartridge: BASS sounds 'muddy' The Reason?
Don't worry about the cartridge for the moment. What’s the table standing on? Try standing it on a sheet of granite, paving slab or thick glass. Is there a dust cover on it? Remove it. Is it in the firing line of the speakers? Stuck in a corner? A...

Judy Roderick ‎– Woman Blue ‎(Vangard 1965)Wonderful America country blues which sounds as fresh today as it did 55 years ago. Sadly died at 50 because only the good die young.

Upgrade phono stage?
Nice system. Have you rolled the tubes? A pair of Telefunkens will bring new life to the phono amp. Then the ECC82 line amp tube. Also try them without the shields on.You could try a sale or return Schiit Mani phono from Amazon for $149 into the A...

replacing tonearm question?
@best-groove The Jelco 850 is a different design and is far better than the old Sumiko arm. 
Anyone have experience with the Tung Sol 7581a vs. EL34, KT66, KT88, 6L6
Drummer? Then you'll appreciate the new Tung Sol 7581A. Great, clean, snappy bass. Give it about 10-20 hours to sound its best. 
The Arm/Cartridge Matching Myth
@rauliruegas My jury is out on this one as I don't have the experience to comment on this subject. I've only ever had a few arms. However, I have heard many of his recordings and have no evidence to go by that there was any major issues inherent i... 
Sony ta F444es Fuse question
Most likely there would be one soldered in there if the amp is running in 250V countries. 
Is there a such too much power for speakers?
Lose that dealer. 
What is the appeal of the Denon 103 cartridges?
@billwojo If you were paying attention, I'm replying (and quoting) directly to the OP.
