| Step Up Transformers….Are they Worth the Trouble? @lewm : As you know I owned 3 original MC2000, yes I like it. All came directly from Ortofon to me in México ( no distributor in my country. ).

Dear @lalitk " would you buy a completely rebuilt cart vs a slightly used cartridge…" Completely rebuilt... certainly not and slightly used cartridge could depends of its " vintage " because normally designer/manufacturers of cartridges over ... | |
| Step Up Transformers….Are they Worth the Trouble?
