Cartridge Opinions - Sorry
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...

And stylus is user replaceable. About the modern day Audio Technica carts, I was ready to plunk down the money for the Audio Technica AT-ART9 Moving Coil Cartridge until I read here on agon (again chakster) that the stylus was not replaceable!N...

@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...

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 
What 4 subwoofers to buy?
williewonka, Based on your budget of around 4 x $599 you could do much better with just two subs at @1200 each. Respectfully, I’m not here to argue a point but to offer up a different way of thinking ’out of the box’ to get good bass. The 4 sub S... 
Jazz for someone who doesn't like jazz.

How do you sort your LPs?
By genre then last name alphanumeric. I'm just starting to try the discog thing. Thanks uber and big greg for the tips, nice. 
Are big subwoofers viable for 2 channel music?
