I knew you would have something to say about that; maybe not. I got a new cartridge, paid more than I could afford, but my old records are sounding brand new; almost anyway, still got some clicks and pops here and there, but I keep running across... 
Classic el34 tube amps versus current models
I hope you haven't purchased anything yet, because at this moment I'm listening to PrimaLuna mono blocks and loving it; four EL 34 tubes per side. New might be within your budget. Give Upscale Audio a call tomorrow, but remember they're on Pacif...

It's so interesting how I've changed since I began this thread; it's like the old self looking at the new self. The old self was open to any and everything, while the new self is not nearly as accommodating as the old self.Let me explain complete... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Zanden Audio Systems Model 1000., costs $15,000, and only accepts MM. That causes me to wander about MC, but since I like MM, I have never owned a high quality MC; however, why would someone who could afford anything, only prefer MM    http://lc...

I can tell you liked that other Yoko's music about as well as I did; some things I just don't get, and that was one of them.This Yoko is sounding so good, I had to play her again. I hear real roots jazz, certainly not "stereotypical", plus she is ...

Acman, I can understand your rationale; I would have been more than a little bit upset.I bought Miles "Sketches of Spain" and it has some kind of classical music on one side; I considered that so unusual that I kept it.You definitely submitted the...

Ghosthouse, I really and truly love rabbits; I use to see them in our back yard,  I figured they lived under a big bush next door, and the guy cut the bush down, now I got no more rabbits.When I was a kid in the country, there was nothing more fun...

Rok, "Analog" is not even in the same country as what we knew, neither is the price. Remember all those king of the hill TT's like Dual and Girard; they wont cut it now.When CD first came out, and those "Audiophiles" were saying "What's the big d...

Have you checked anti skating?

Since I needed a new cartridge, I took the liberty of giving myself a Christmas present of the "Grado Master 2", and I give it my highest recommendations. I'm enjoying LP's like never before.That also means I will refrain from those lively "new j...
