@chakster Thank you for the link to Garrott Bros., I was not familiar with their line of products at all.The story of the founding brothers is tragic. And what happened after their deaths and how the company continued on is bordering on unbelievab...

@teo_audio   I'll have a look. Thanks. Again, I'm just looking for a low cost bridge to get to the other side for now.@rauliruegas Thanks for the link! Yeah, I've been on that site already looking at their product. They are a bit more than I want ... 
ADC XLM mkII Cartridge. Should I bother...
@totem395 Well, as much as I like to go with original replacement parts, I just need a cartridge to bridge the gap until I'm in a position to upgrade cart/phono stage. Hence my desire for an inexpensive solution. 
ADC XLM mkII Cartridge. Should I bother...
@viridian Thank you for the info! I did read some were having issues with distortion with the shibata, but there are so many variables with setting up a shibata properly, I was wondering if the issue was in set up more so than stylus. Your explana... 
ADC XLM mkII Cartridge. Should I bother...
Thank you all for your thoughts! @viridian Can I ask which stylus you are using?It is the non removable headshell version. However, it was been modded by original owner who upgraded the internal wires (to what, I do not know) as well as putting an... 
ADC XLM mkII Cartridge. Should I bother...
Not an easy cartridge to find any "real" info about online. I could always get another stylus for the 2M black, but it would also be a temporary measure until I sort out a MC cartridge. Suppose the 2M could be sold easier than the ADC. Thought it ...

Your favorite OCC speaker cable

Is this at the beginning, middle or end of record, or is it evenly across the entire side? 
So you think wire conductors in cables are directional? Think again...

Any audiophiles into motorcycles
First bike was a 1975 Honda CB550. Back in 2005. Got it off eBay, had 3800 miles on it. Realized why the mileage was so low, some strange electrical problem that left me stranded more times than I care to remember. After a year, found someone who ... 
Synergistic Research Fuses vs cheaper ceramic fuses
Unfortunately, there are both extremes that crawl out from underneath the rocks when fuses are discussed.Far too much arrogance and condescending language being thrown about sadly. Pretty straight forward. Buy them, try them. Like them, keep them....
