| Cables more hype than value? "09-12-15: NonoiseI expected such a response.We're all reviewers of some sort, no? What makes us, here, so special? I tried to find the thread here where he mentions it but couldn't."It was one of the silliest I've ever heard. It makes no sense. Y... | |

| How much am I missing with SL1200 mk2? All I can tell you is that the ones I have, come with a built in phono stage. I plugged one of them directly into a line stage and played a record. Maybe they were modified with after market parts, or are knock offs. I live in NY, anything like th... | |
