Newbie here with a cable question
You’ve been warned by the first couple of posts...Fine gear you have there. Whatever speakers you hook up to them, its like real estate value-location,location and location.If you look at the virtual system pics, lots of nice gear, but some questi...

I've tried the glue method years ago,to satisfy my curiousity. Waste of glue and time. It does pick up dirt, but the procedure/process isn't worth it.IMO.  I hear  the same result with my humble Spin Clean.

Cartridges: Complete Scam?
madavid0- the easiest way to enjoy turntable madness is to simply allow YOUR OWN EARS to dictate where your wallet follows.You are  clearly not going to join the ranks of owners of $10K+users, and perhaps your system doesn't justify such extravaga...
