I feel bad for Generation X and The Millennial's
Poor things… they never got to stumble into a Tower Records on Sunset Blvd at 2 in the morning. See The Who walk in (stumble, really) to admire a pallet stack of their new LP, Who’s Next. No one really paid attention to them, because all 10 peopl...

So sad, they never got to see Lawrence Welk while eating Swanson’s tv dinner with mom and dad.   
Cartridge "upgrade" to Dynavector XV1T
I have a Dynavector XT cart. I’ve owned 2 others.  Great carts.  My recommendation is to try the Etsuro Gold. It’s the best I’ve heard and own.  Enjoy the music.   
Ultimate stereo nightmare

What's your favorite $5-7000 turntable?
Definitely a Transrotor. I have a Transrotor Fat Bob on a Fenite Elemente Pagoda (wall mount). Not only is it a finely crafted machine, but it looks fantastic and will be the center piece of your audiophile system.

Audiophile Jargon Demonstrated
Thanks for the list of definitions. It helps to understand what we, us, are describing, even if we need to expand on our definitions. Yes, some of us have been down that road, but it helps to try and stay in the lane so everybody has a reference p... 
Magico M9 a ton of weight and a million dollar price tag $750,000
I heard them with Pillium amp.  They are amazing. Huge soundstage. Deep and wide. Excellent tonal balance.  The company, Magico, is first class. The folks I met there are professional, passionate and dedicated.   Even though most of us cannot affo...

Pacific Audio Fest
I attended Friday and Saturday. 3 rooms were of note. Von Schweikert Room. Big room and Huge soundstage. I found it hard to leave the room. Linkwist room. Very tight and tuned sound. Not too crazy about the looks, but a very good sound. The Pi... 
Cartridges, Vinyl, Stylus, Turntable
Dudes, Dudettes ( not Dudiens, I had a girlfriend who actually researched the subject),  I tried to make it clear and simple- would a cheap cartridge that is properly set up and stylus is in good condition, damage a record?  But, then the "why o...
