| Should I Brush My Cartridge After Each Use? Nothing personal Lidisfarne but Roy at Rega is famous for his Attitude about such things. He doesn't believe in using good wire either.

| Magic Diamond vs Airtight PC1? Perhaps it's worth noting that both carts in question are distributed by Axiss. With that in mind I talked with Jaime, their analogue specialist today as I am also interested in upgrading my reference cartridge as well as selling them. He said tha... | |

| New Maplenoll Ariadne owner needing advice Chazro,the Athena you describe having had was a far cry for the later models which got less and less tweeky. They, as well as virtually any table, still get better given a willingness to get your hands dirty. | |

| Rega P-25 cart recommendations -mm or mc pref.mm Bear in mind that tighter, beyond a certain point, is not better when it comes to cartridge mounting.
