Still looking for a new Moving Coil Cartridge
In my OP I said I wanted little surface noise. That does not imply my records are dirty.  I have a VPI 16.5 RCM and all my records have been cleaned and put back in the jackets.  I just don’t want a cartridge that emphasizes the surface noise and ...

The Zu/Denon cartridge was retipped by Andy at the needle Clinic in Washington state I believe back in 2018. I have less than 100 hours on the retip as I was using the newer Dynavector until it got ruined by a curious little boy.

@lewm, How would the Nagota cartridges sound with my Rock records, that is the most important thing to me?

I am a little nervous about a wood body.  Does the Grado have threaded holes or do you need to use those impossibly tiny nuts?  If it doesn't have threaded holes, it would be a non-starter for me.  My hands are not as steady as they were just a fe...

Anyone else using slugs instead of fuses? Comments on metals used and sound please
I can’t believe people are talking of using slugs in the Twenty First Century.  If you are using slugs in your equipment and God-forbid it started a fire, your insurance most likely won’t cover it, especially if it’s Allstate or Liberty.  Just say...

Finally arrived !!
@total111, thank you for clarifying.  I first thought it was a new Naim piece.  What is the brand of the amps and how do you control the level of each amp since it’s crossover-less?   You must have had to do endless tweaking of each driver level.   
Finally arrived !!
I am a bit confused.  What are all those pieces on the rack that look exactly the same?  Looks to be 12 of them plus a controller on the other rack? What are they, what do they do and what is the brand?  
LIST ALL YHE SPEAKERS YOU HAVE OWNED THEN TILL NOW!
@newbee , I also owned a pair of Rectilinear 7 speakers back in the 70’s.  They were quite impressive for the time.   I wish I never sold them. I believe the company folded shortly after.    
Luxman D07x
@rpeluso , could be.
