Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
There’s two NOS ATML180 stylus on eBay right now. First I’ve seen any for sale. Pretty expensive, though might be worth it to some.  
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Chakster, most of those cartridges you mentioned are hard to find and mostly not cheap. I’ve recently seen a USED ATML180 for $1400.00! Most of the cartridges I bought were under $200.00. I like finding bargains like the last one I bought, an Empi...

The 1000ZE/X may end up being my favorite. For the $100.00 I paid included the original wood box and packaging, I think it was as a great bargain. Though the NOS Empire stylus is still available for this model, the price is a lot higher now then a...

I haven’t posted in a long time, but I was here on this thread quite often in the beginning. I owned quite a few of the models mentioned in the thread or you could say I belonged to the “mm cartridge flavor of the week club”   The models I liked t... 
Emerald Physics: Ultimate Bang for the Buck?
Come on sfrounds, let’s hear about your experience with EP speakers. Bashing a company without any details is not helping anyone and kills your credibility. 
Emerald Physics: Ultimate Bang for the Buck?
I like my EP 4.7, surely not junk. Mine are bi-amped and crossed to dual 15” subwooers and custom processor settings. Nice open transparent sound with tons of dynamic scale and sound awesome loud. I think some can’t stand the idea of digital proce... 
Tekton Impact Monitors
Hukkfinn, I have daul 15 in subs that I used with the monitors. Should of helped level the comparison. I mainly wanted to hear the new hyped tweeter array to get an idea of the Tekton sound. I liked the sound, but not enough to want to try the DI ... 
Tekton Impact Monitors
Maybe 75 hours, I paid $4500.00 for the EP 4.7. I was using subs for the low bass with Tekton monitors. The main reason I wanted to try the Tekton monitors was to hear the tweeter array and after reading some highly positive comments on forums, th... 
Tekton Impact Monitors
I'll update my experience with the Impact Monitors. I'll start off with mentioning other speakers I've owned to give an idea of my experience with different models. After mostly budget Speakers like Advent and Bose, I bought NHT 2.9 as my first hi... 
Who makes budget speaker cables which are truly “good” or “exceptional” in quality?
@dynaquest4 And then they upgrade to the next more expensive offering, and after the recommended burn in time...even more amazed and shocked at how awesome their system sounds cause of freakin wires. I'm not doubting difference in sound but the hy... 
Hearing loss , speakers or headphones ?
You could try a DSP unit like the miniDSP offerings or DSpeaker anti-mode units. These have PEQ and shelf eq abilities. You could add a rising high frequency shelf eq setting sorta like adding a treble control... 
Who makes budget speaker cables which are truly “good” or “exceptional” in quality?
I'll admit I enjoyed experimenting with cables especially the DIY cables I made. The problem I see is manufacturers trying to BS people or take advantage of an audiophile's pursuit of improvements. The never ending more expensive "upgrades" these ... 
Who makes budget speaker cables which are truly “good” or “exceptional” in quality?
If you can justify the expense of trying exotic cables and enjoy it there’s nothing wrong with it, it’s your time and money. I have some "budget" VH AUDIO cables and DIY stuff and did try some more expensive stuff and decided my budget stuff is go...

Mogami, cheap and "sound" as good as any overpriced audiophile cable. 
Tekton Impact Monitors
Also moving them a little at a time doesn't seem to change the sonic character that much to me. I have ceiling and sidewall absorption panels so I don't think reflections are causing much issues. They just sound a bit too forward for me at higher ...
