| Best MM? Since I can't just go out and buy a 2M Black, I had to satisfy my curiosity the best way I could, and here is a comparison between the cartridge I'm using and also my favorite.Presently, no matter how many people claimed the 2M Black was better, i... | |
| Best MM? Chakster, thanks for the documentary on Grado Labs; their philosophy of quality, and consistently delivering a product their customers appreciate is one of the reasons I buy their cartridges.Grado is called "the poor man's Koetsu" for a reason; it... | |
| Best MM? Inna, $1000 is a lot of money to me to, but trading in my Sonata for the Grado Master 2 turned out to be the right way to go for me, and I have never been so delighted.I would try a new cartridge every other day if I had the dough, but that's not ... | |
| Best MM? Dhcod, this is no game; if you are a music lover it is essential that you get as much as possible out of each and every time you play a record.Since this is for the long haul, go to the max on your budget. The Clearaudio Maestro V2 Ebony sounds l... | |
| Best MM? Music is subjective while cartridge specifications and price are objective. It’s needless to compare a $200 cartridge with a 1K cartridge, but cartridges should be compared in the same price range to get anything meaningful out of the comparison.A... | |
| Best MM? Dhcod, cartridges are very competitive; therefore, you are always speaking of the cartridges in a specific price range.Would you ask someone who is the best girlfriend for you? Of course not, but that's what you are doing in a sense when you ask,... | |
| Grado/Rega Hum Sometimes it's best to just leave s--t alone. | |
| Grado/Rega Hum Now that I’ve got a subwoofer component in my system, I hear the hum even at low volume, but only when I get close to the speakers. Otherwise, I don’t know it’s there; that's what you said."Otherwise you don't even know it's there".You do not ha... | |
| Grado/Rega Hum The hum is loudest after the playing grooves. When it is as feint as you say it is, no it's not compromising sound. When you're listening to the music, I bet you can't even hear the hum. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, Eunice Kathleen Waymon was a "Classical Pianist". Do they have book stores, or one of those places where you check books out near you? Her application read "Eunice Kathleen Waymon"; not Nina Simone, when she applied to that school.Go to... | |
| Jazz for aficionados When she applied for that school, it was in the 50's when discrimination was the law of the land in The United States of America; where were you?I said it was such a "hoity toity" place that they could have found a dozen other reasons not to appr... | |
| Jazz for aficionados The credibility of what you hear in Nina Simone's piano playing is "0". | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, your credibility is "0" in a conversation of this nature. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, I checked on that "Curtis School of Music", and found that it's such a "hoity toity" place, that no one could "credibly" claim discrimination. That ends that for me.I discovered a March 84 issue of "Stereo Review": check Rodrigues; picture t... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Schubert, I have some of Carmen’s earliest LP’s, and regardless how young her voice was, it needed some polish; she had to learn a thing or two before she became the Carmen I adore."If memory serves me right(which it often does not)". Carmen defin... |
