Apple TV Streaming Sound Quality vs Streamer?
Mastering from the original source is the most important factor in SQ! And with streaming and downloads the provenance is never certain, compared to LP's and CD's! Authenticity is given up for convenience! A bad bargain, indeed!

James Clerk Maxwell, Thomas Alva Edison and Lee DeForest would be appalled by the rising tide of b*ll sh*t in today's audio scene! AC receptacles that need "burn in"! LOL!!!

MM or High Output MC, MI Cartridges. Suggestions Please.

Get a Denon 103R. Sounds better than any Grado! I have been using Denon mc cartridges for 40 years (along with some Grado's). Yes there are even better-sounding mc cartridges (for a higher price, of course!) - but the venerable 103 punches so far ... 
What Type Belt Are You Using
