| What adhesive is used to re-tip a cartridge? Epoxy...hard to work with in such a tight and delicate area. | |
| Upgrading wall outlets Donjr.. My PorterPorts took about a month to settle in..I love what it did to my system. | |
| Is Monster cable getting better? Monster and Bose are consumer driven companies as opposed to "audiophile" driven. |
