Right here is where the analogy falls apart. A mic boom is simply holding the mic in the right location, but in that regard is rigid and does not have to articulate. It doesn’t need much in the way of adjustments and they come in different sizes d...

@cd318,Now I’m more confused? Or is it more enlightened?I have a vintage Pioneer PL-630 Quartz PLL Electronic Full Automatic turntable that is in mint condition and has a fantastic tonearm. What I have noticed about this particular table is it is ...

+1 @rauliruegas,You bring up a valid point. If a tonearm has a removable headshell, then the cartridge is definitely more important than a metal tube with wires and is height and level adjustable, I would think. Very similar to a boom with a detac...

This is a very simple fact with which all audiophiles are intimately familiar if they have used a turntable! I really don’t get why anyone would argue the other way, unless for the sport of it... Ralph,I am of the opinion that it’s ok to be wron...

Yeah chakster the only reason I haven’t gotten back to you is the funds aren’t available yet. 
What has been your costliest mistake in this hobby?
I buy albums off of Discogs and didn’t notice that this one album was warped. Put it on my turntable and my JICO (Shure) VN5xMR stylus snapped like a dry twig. I was crestfallen....

elliottbnewcombjr,Actually you and I are not to far off. You just have had maybe a little more time (and maybe money☺!) than my hihfi budget can afford right now. My current phono preamp is MM only but my next phono pre upgrade will have a interna...

@elliottbnewcombjr,Thanks for the correction! I think it was a lack of sleep mistake. I'd love to hear any opinions, suggestions, and experiences with those cartridges or others in the price range. I could possibly go higher if there is somethi...

@klooker I wouldn’t throw out that Shure V15VxMR cartridge with the Jico SAS stylus/boron shaft just yet. Put it away while you’re using the AT33PTG/2 Dual Moving Coil Cartridge and every once in awhile you’ll notice a NOS Shure VN5xMR stylus come...

Has anyone compared the Triode Wire Labs Seven Plus or any of the more expensive Triode Wire Labs power cords to/vs the Cerious Technologies Graphene Matrix power cord? And the100% trade in policy is insanely outstanding.Thanks Ozzy for introducin... 
is this the greatest live band of all time?
The JB's live, now that was a show. 
is this the greatest live band of all time?
Sly and The Family Stone, when Sylvester was sober that is.The only band that made Miles Davis completely change his style of playing.

What 4 subwoofers to buy?
You gain a lot of headroom by using multiple subs, meaning that each individual sub doesn't have to work as hard as only one or two would have to in order to produce the same SPL levels. +1 big_greg
