| What’s really hurting the audio hobby? None of them had any respect for my knowledge or knowledgeable questions. @elliottbnewcombjr In a world where everyone is waiting to talk, there is a bushel of truth in what you say. | |
| A new turntable under 500-700euros @rawbleed Here’s a selection of non-elliptical cartridges.The Denon/SUT route is expensive and I’m not even sure the PLX arm is up to the job of running the low compliance Denon. The disadvantage of a spherical is that it can ride higher up in the... | |
| What’s really hurting the audio hobby? I went into an upscale dealer recently for the first time. We chatted about my gear and equipment in general. The salesman showed off their listening rooms including some with serious six-figure pieces. The dealer was pleasant and proud of the sto... | |
| A new turntable under 500-700euros Are you sure you can stand it? The clicks and pops? The better your front end, the less you hear them because the sound extracted is at a greater ratio of music to noise. Anyhow, look at the Pioneer PLX500 or 1000 with a Nagaoka MP110. You'll need... | |
