| Cartridge Suggestions for a Black Widow Tonearm I used to use the Ortofon OM 20 and 30 series that was low mass. It matched up nicely with the widow and tracked most everything. (Did fly out of the groove like a rocket launcher on Telarc 1812 when the cannons blasted).Decent sound for the bucks... | |

| JBL L300 - true myth? JBL's rock, period.Hell most of the rock music made in the 70's used some kind of JBL to mix the albums in the studio. Mr. Townsend himself commented on how good the big 4350's were in mixing Quadrophenia.Wonderful classic speakers. Loud and Proud... | |
