I finally compared CD to vinyl and...
Budrew, Dude you have only but had a glimpse into what the good old Lp can do. (Yamaha PF-20 TT, Signet TK4Ep cartridge), This will give you a feel for vinyl, but with no low level detail and you are missing a lot of bottom and top end with this s... 
Say it aint so--- Teres quality question
Thanks Lugnut for your sincere post. I for one always enjoy you posts because of your honest, straightforward answers, and enlightened suggestions.Ron 
goldmund reference . which would be the best arm
Lots or arms to choose from but for my money, its the Origin Live Encounter and Illustrious! Good Luck in your Quest. 
Treating records with LAST preservative
I have been using Last for years, and I can tell you I have some lp's that I have played at least 100 times and they still sound like new. I think this is what Last is for. As far as long-term storage, store the LP's as per TWL's suggestions he is... 
Shelter cartridges...Any thoughts?
Twl and the rest here have been singing the praises about the Shelter cartridges for a long time now. Check the archives, you will see we recommend the Shelter's to almost everyone. These cartridges are at the top of the class in price to performa...

Next worthwhile step from an MMF7
The type of improvements you will get from a better arm/table/cartridge are, you again hear many new things that you cannot hear now, from the bottom to the top including soundstaging, with less record noise. I don't know the price range you are c... 
SOTA vs. Rega, VPI, Music Hall, Clearaudio
nice post Etbaby and right to the point. 
What was your latest LP find??
David, The Eagles are a little to warm and laid back sounding for me as well, so I don't have any.Musicdoc nice score, this is the kind of treasure record hounds live for. Good fortune was smiling upon you that day.Cheers, Ron 
OK, I said it...
Welcome Grasshopper, you are now on the path of enlightenment, as are we all. Origin live makes a VTA adjuster for Rega arms. This path is a lot more work but we all feel (most times anyway) itÂ’s worth the effort for the added fidelity analog prov... 
What was your latest LP find??
Quincy love the Classic Records as well as those beloved DCC presses. 
Which artists do you just not get?
Snora Jones 
What was your latest LP find??
David99 The seller should refund you your money because this is clearly a very poor copy. From your statements he appears to be a good seller, so you should not have any trouble. I to learned the hard way. What in the world were you doing bidding ...

goodbye to vinyl. . . . grr ------ longish rant
Swamp man TWL is right; I believe your Blackcube is not set for your cartridge. Your VTA and VTF should be close enough to sound way better than it does. Once you get the cube set for the Benz you will hear a marked improvement.Then you should get...
