Truly Stunning Vinyl Album
I am very fond of Modern Hollywood Records 20-820 "I Got Rhythm" Stan Getz with Charlie Shavers, Willie Smith and Red Norvo, 10" 78rpm record. And I’ll throw in Screamin’ Jay Hawkins "I Put A Spell On You" Okeh Records A-7072, 7" 45rpm single. Wow... 
Counterpoint SA-1000 Phono Stage Issue
Apologies, weird that it is closed. Not a member myself, would not join any club that would have me. Maybe someone else here is a member and can come to your aid. Good luck.

Oh, I know that, chapter and verse. Fortunately, I am not saddled with perfect pitch. Many Japanese potters put an intentional flaw into their pots, as nothing must be perfect. I find that the flaws, primarily of recording, but also of pressing a...

Refurbished / Re-tipped Cartridges - Are they worth Buying?
Neither Ortofon, nor Soundsmith manufactures their own stylus/cantilever assemblies, cactus excepted. The birds nest adhesive is typical of Orbray (formerly Namiki) mounts on boron stylii. https://orbray.com/en/product/jewel/product/onlineshop_rec... 
Would McIntosh Auto Transformers affect speaker sound?

Refurbished / Re-tipped Cartridges - Are they worth Buying?
I think a distinction must be drawn between retipping by sawing off the cantilever and glueing a new cantilever/stylus to the stub, and retipping by leaving the original cantilever intact and replacing only the diamond stylus. In the former, the m...
