| Shindo Cortese - First Impressions Hi Keithr,I found myself quite relaxed after listening to it. The Montrachet was rich and romantic sounding. There did not seem to be as much prat (pardon, if you can subscribe to such a term) as the Cortese or the Montille. There is one problem w... | |
| Shindo Cortese - First Impressions Charles, he said was keeping the Montille so he will likely be returning to it (and then back to the Cortese...what a luxury). The point was more that all of these amps are terrific and have their own pedigree. I think Alberto is wise to keep the ... | |

| Affordable Mono Cartridge For VPI Scout Someone on audio asylum recently bought a Benz mono and really likes it. True mono and likely a good match to VPI tonearms. | |

| Affordable Mono Cartridge For VPI Scout Br3098, 1. Good point on customization. SMM3 with larger stylus profile of the period might be something to try! 2. What is louder? Two speakers with each speaker having half output or one speaker with full output? I don't have any gain issues usi... | |
| Affordable Mono Cartridge For VPI Scout BR, Can you answer my question regarding the Soundsmith cartridge?Regarding the Denon 102, I don't believe you are correct. Read this link and in particular, the last paragraph below (if this is not clear, examine the graph...it's the same author ... | |
| Affordable Mono Cartridge For VPI Scout What are the differences between the Soundsmith SMMC-3 stereo and mono versions? Is the stylus tip different? Is there a different construction besides coil orientation? I disagree on the efficacy of the Denon 102. There is nothing in the design t... | |
