| Is There An "Absolute" Best Cartridge? Dgob,Thanks. I learned a new word today! (I did not know 'Aporia' had an adjective). While it may not be the place to discuss it, we are still stuck with lack of agreement on what "the best" is and whether it indeed exists (or whether, if it exist... | |
| Is There An "Absolute" Best Cartridge? Why has noone stated the obvious? Raul has let out his inner "Valley Girl" (or Valley Girl Sith) and the Technics 100CMk4 is just.. like... well you know, like, just the best! | |
| want new plinth ideas for direct-drive turntables DP-100 spinning tunes as I write. Love it. Only need one though so the other is going to go... :^) One might be able to wrap the electronics in TI Shield or something similar, and leave them there (like the board in the casing of the SP-10Mk2) but... | |

| Survey-What is your most used source? When the thread started many years ago, it would have been CD/SACD.Now it is vinyl, though I am going to make an effort to listen more to some of the great music I have on CD. | |
| Counterpoint NPS 400 w/ Electrostats Years ago, when I was testing amps with Martin Logan SL3s, I tried a number of amplifiers, and the Counterpoint NPMs (not NPS400) were among the best out there - unfortunately for me at the time, they had just been sold to someone else. I think th... | |
| Oxidation, how to prevent? Semi,Heat alone will not oxidize. Running a de-humidifier is actually an effective way to keep "cool" as well because it helps create an environment so evaporation cools your body. It doesn't need to be set too low. Running de-humidifiers is OK bu... | |
| Black-Eyed-Peas, the future of modern music? Hunterg,There you are on to something. LG can sing too. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul,Thanks. That's what I cannot figure out how to do. There appears to be way of contacting them directly on their website (or other) that I have found. | |
