| Absolutely marvelous story and a fun jazz-ish recording The most interesting part of the article is that the guy wasn't a player for most of his life. Proof that if some is determined to learn a musical instrument, it doesn't matter how old you are-medical conditions aside if present. The reading musi... | |
| VPI HW-19 with Graham 1.5 arm Question/Suggestions " Jeff Rowland Consonance with onboard phono module. Likely can be outdone with an outboard unit. Simply trying a different cart may be the solution. Your setup doesn't need add-ons to sound acceptable. | |
| VPI HW-19 with Graham 1.5 arm Question/Suggestions Table setup is more than competent. Phonostage quality is paramount to make any setup sound its best. Max your budget and forget turntable trinkets/ doo dads. | |

| Cartridge burn-in Just another thing we audiophools think we need to quantify and come up with techno explanations. So you buy a $10K cart for your uber setup, install it and it sounds...just okay, because you have to "wait" for a "breakin?" I don't think so. Yo... | |
| Cabling Recommendations Focal Grande Utopia...You've got a set of serious speakers there. I've never heard a setup with them sound bad. Just try as many of top-of-line models brands as you can. With that level of speaker, a proper dealer will have demo cables for you to... | |
| Anyone Still Using Zerodust Always used Magic Eraser. Got suckered into buying the Onzow, when it first appeared on the market. I guess mine didn't have enough "stickum" on it because there were times it didn't remove whatever gunk was on the stylus. Declared it audio ju... | |
