| How to choose step up transformers? The good news is that SUT matching is not that critical! So if you change your mc cartridge you will still have very good-to- excellent sound quality - just with a different sonic "flavor". That was what the late - and missed! - Art Dudley conclud... | |

| The conclusion I've reached about speakers The "best" speaker is the one that YOU like - and can live with! | |
| Tango Step Up Transformers vs Bob's Sky Blue Cinemag Both Tango and Cinemag are excellent! Tango.is certainly the best audio.transformer company in Japan. My Sanei SET 2A3 has all Tango iron, including chokes and power transformer. I would characterize the sonic "flavor" of the Tango.and Cinemag SUT... | |
| Different Tubes for low listening levels? Get a pair of Quad 57's - the champions of detail and low-level listening! And you'll only need 20 - 30 watts! | |
| Starter turntable and MM cartridge recommendations Pioneer PLX1000 ($699 and free shipping from various online sellers like American Musical Supply) and a Grado MI cartridge ($79 and up).
