A new Question: Moving Magnet Cartridge To Compliment My Rock Collection
I am wondering about the new MoFi ultra tracker mm cartridge.  I believe it is 500.00 new.  There isn't too much information out there on these new cartridges.  I wonder if they are  all the same cartridge, just different stylus tips?

Eggleston Works Andra II speakers as forever speakers.
I had a pair of Vandersteen 2Ci speakers in my living room for 18 years and only sold them to get the 2Ce signatures.   I liked the 2Ci speakers more.   
Looking for upgrade advice
