| Which moving magnet cartridge mm 4 vpi classic? Don't skimp on the cartridge. The turntable deserves the very best. | |
| Koetsu Blue Lace Onyx vs. Coralstone I once was a fan of Koetsu...however, I tend to think of them as audio candy rather than a cartridge I would own. If I were you, I would listen to the Koetsu of your choice compared with the top examples of Dyna, Benz, etc. I know it is a difficul... | |

| Classical Music LPs recommendations The Prokofiev Romeo and Julliet to get is the Maazel/Cleveland Orch recording on London or Decca. It was on The Absolute Sound's preferred list for sound and performance. I just love it. How about opera? The Bernstein "Carman" is wonderfully recor... |
