| Tried the Grado Statement1? I've had many Grado cartridges...knew Joe Grado and have been to his lab/house in Westfield, New Jersey. He really knew what sound he was looking for...he sang with the MET in New York. The latest cartridge I had was the Grado low output Sonata...... | |
| Replacing Turntable RCA cables Another thing you need to consider is if you need shielded or unshielded cables. Shielding may give less hum and noise if your turntable should require it, but shielding closes down the sound. | |
| Artemis/Schroder SA-1? Why would are you interesting in owning a component that you can't find let alone if you need to have it repaired.... | |

| no looking back i'm not that careful about cleaning my records...don't see the need. The system sounds great as is | |
| How to meaningfully audition speakers?? You simply can't. Find a speaker that you like in the store and hope the rest of your stuff mates well with it. | |
| It was 20 years ago today. . What was your system? HarmanKardon Citation amp and preamp, Infinity speakers, RekOKut turntable with Grado Lab arm and (don't remember the cartridge) | |
| Cardas Golden Reference Power vs. Clear Power ...absolutely right. Cardas does add body and fullness, but this is a plus only if you need body and fullness. In my system, Cardas was the worst sounding cable I tried. It made the system dead and lifeless inserting a "brown" character to everyth... |
