Help with Cartridge choice
Nice choice. I'd include the Audio Technica lineup, and NOT spend as much since you're limited by the table. Use the dough for speakers/amp.  https://www.audio-technica.com/en-us/cartridges/type/moving-coil Maybe something in the OC9 series... 
Brian Eno's Turntable Design
Maybe works something like this... "Celebrity" designed means Pro-ject takes one of their entry tables,"collabs" with "celebrity" with their "unique" ideas. Now  declared "designed by X" and put a marketing campaign behind it. Maybe a hit with G... 
Has anyone heard the new Eric Alexander signature speakers the matrix LS?

Has anyone heard the new Eric Alexander signature speakers the matrix LS?

Is participating in this Forum infringing on and spoiling some of your listening time?
Agon makes for a great airport and waiting room time burner.  
Selling off Tubes for Solid State, A Cooler Love Story?
That’s a shame you’re finding the PL too much. I use an PL HP. No heat concern. Must be the layout of your space that makes heat build up? With 8 power tubes, they don’t seem to be overwhelmingly hot, at least in my room. I hear PS Audio BHK as ... 
Will I Hear A Difference?
Buy the Ortofon Blue and put it on your Orbit. You can then decide if you need to go a step further.    
another toy for those with money to burn
About as close as I'd get to owning the real thing. That, and watching these guys thrash one. They figured out how to make a business out of playing with exotic cars and viewers will come. Now they have fat wallets. Wouldn't be surprised if t...
