Clearaudio innovation wood or SME 20/3
Here are a couple others that have been mentioned to me...How about Linn LP12?Thousands of audiophiles can't be wrong.... 
Lyra or ZYX ?
When I owned Graham 2.2 I used Zyx with it. Top combination. The Zyx are in general not critical to Tonearm matching.In my opinion the higher you go with Graham Arms, the better is the result. This design became always more and more heavy (see the... 
What is the average lifespan of a phono cartridge?
Hard to say, because there are differences from Manufacturer to Manufacturer. I had a - heavy - Takeda Miyabi which was still strong after 8 years or regular use (a few times per week), had a Shelter which was down after 1.5 years. 
Skala or Kleos?
... your promotional efforts help sustain Skala sales at a higher volume than Kleos sales, I'm certainly not going to complain!Well, I do not make any profit with any products, so I don't promote anything. There are others who do it. And, I don't... 
Skala or Kleos?
Every Audiophile will have his own kind of rating, what fits for one, doesn't for the next. I go for performance, to get the most information out of the groove, others look for a "sound" which fits probably best for their taste or the System in ge...

Bad CDP but good transport?
In the last 12 years I owned several CD Systems, mainly separate ones, Transports from Goldmund, dCS, CEC, Wadia...with separate Dacs.At that time I thought that is the way to go but when I made a comparison and something was better from sonics, t... 
WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE LINN K 9 CARTRIDGE?
These Linn K-9 Systems were made from Audio Technica. they are no longer in Production, probably you should replace it with a Audio Technica AT 440 MLa, that is a better one. The K-9 was a Starter System for cheapest analog rigs. All I can remembe... 
The New Clearaudio Ovation
Well, the "Black" is not made from Koetsu (what others told me) and the price for this cart is ok. I listened to it some time ago and I seriously think, it is much better than its "Brothers". Hard to believe, all Koetsu owners will have a differen...
