| MONOmaniacal advice requested vinyl question John, I know that Grado makes some nice mono cartridges too. You might want to check into that. I just bought their 78C mono cartridge exclusively for playing 78 rpm records, and I'm very pleased with its performance and low cost. I believe they h... | |

| Kill Bill Soundtrack Philojet writes: "I just remember liking it as always with a Tarantino film, especially the Nancy Sinatra song: Bang Bang My Baby Shot Me Down."Hey, isn't that the old Cher song? | |

| Feedback/Ideas for New Magazine? Steve, Maybe you didn't read my entire post. I said that my publication would be subscriber-based and would not take manufacturer advertising. That's how I can "afford" to be completely honest in my commentary. Magazines I am or have been affiliat... | |

| Feedback/Ideas for New Magazine? Nrchy, Your point is well taken. I do intend to be up front with my readers about my listening room, associated equipment, and listening biases. Believe me, all this information will be spelled out in detail on my website. And the same will be don... | |
