| Thinking of changing my solid state pre amp Why not stick with CJ? If you have a CJ amp that would be the best match. I know, change for change sake and then later regret for the "one that got away." | |
| MM or High Output MC, MI Cartridges. Suggestions Please. I use a Grado M+ mono cartridge with the eliptical stylus. Serves and tracks my mono pressings perfectly at 1.5 grams and has a nice overall balance. I also have their conical stylus version and it also sounds good with the highs a bit rolled off,... | |

| Vinyl - Hearing The Beginning of the Song One Revolution Earler It is adjacent groove wall bleed through, especially when cutters were pressured into using a low pitch to accommodate a long playing side and not using too much compression. It’s a compromise and an art to avoid it altogether, which is why some o... | |
| Need to Replace Transport I am a big fan of my PS Audio PWT memory transport. | |
| Which is better - Hi end CD transport or Music server into DAC? +1 here. A high quality, multisource DAC is essential (Wyred 4 Sound DAC2SE for example), as is a CD transport (PS Audio PWT) and server (MacBook Pro is what I enjoy), and, especially, a multitude of good analog sources (I just had to get that in ... | |
