New user phono question. Comes with free story.
Stylii get old and tired.  A new cartridge should liven things up.  Very good recommendations by others on this forum.  
The greatest tweak ever?
You can always return it if you don't like it.  Might have to be a little "creative" in the language used for the justification for the return:  "The celllos in my system are little thin.  This device didn't help" may not be the best approach.  
Has this happened to you? How can it be stopped?
It's difficult to impossible to support an emotional argument with a pragmatic approach.  "Vintage" to some is "old" to others.  While "old" is factually correct, it falls short in defining all the elements of our attachment to "vintage" gear. Ow...

@2psyop I don’t see a problem here. You just need to use the 1:1 spending method with your wife. For each dollar you spend on "irrational" purchases for you, you graciously allow her to "invest" the same amount in "irrational" purchases for her. J...

@roxy54 i’ve always respected B&Os ability to produce works of art that play music.  When we were a B&O dealer way back when, we unapologetically made the customer aware that a good potion of their investment was in the esthetics of the pr...

@jon_5912Mr. Bernays’ bio is quite interesting.  The comments under the “Philosophy” heading have present day implications.

I believe the motif is called Danish Modern.  Being neither Danish nor modern I am under qualified to comment their esthetics. But, B&O has designed some of the most beautiful pieces ever created to play music.  I have a couple of non-functio... 
MoFi controversy
@clearthink I agree that my comments were a bit heavy-handed.  Probably about 6db too loud.  I'm just a believer in authenticity. Mofi is right on the edge of not respecting the wants and needs of its customers.  
MoFi controversy
@atmasphere Thank you for the post.  I learned something today. @sns I agree with you related to Mofi's "questionable" marketing where the expectation is established that their customers are going to incorrectly "connect the dots" and assume thei... 
MoFi controversy
Anyone who has watched early James Bond movies knows that master tapes can be digital. MOfi’s statement: “utilizing original master tapes” would not be misleading if those master rapes are digital.

@last_lemming I like this post. There are no "right" or "wrong" answers here. I can certainly appreciate your affinity to your Loki Max. Tailoring the sound to your liking, effortlessly, and on demand checks a lot of boxes in the plus column. K...
