| What are your thoughts on the "Edsels" of the audio history? The Bose 901 has been in production for over 50 years. I would not consider it a failure. No doubt about it , it still sells! | |
| In praise of the ESL-57 Many speaker designers use the 57 as a reference. It is listed as number one of the most significant speakers of all time. Amazing for an over sixty year old speaker!http://www.theabsolutesound.com/articles/the-12-most-significant-loudspeakers-of-... | |

| Has anything changed with Grado cartridge re-tipping? No more Needle Doctor.... @foeraus No I have not. I use the older Grados ( TLZ , MCZ) and I replace the stylus every few years! BTW, some other cartridge manufactures like Dynavector have the same kind of deal! | |

| Budget Tube Preamp ($2000) @hilde45 I have the same QS preamp that you have. Two screws, one screw on two opposite corners is enough to hold the cover down without any movement! |
