Very nice installment of “The Vinyl Press”, Bill. Thank you. Not meaning to go off topic too much, but re your impressions of the Monster AG1000: The Monster Sigma Genesis 2000 retains all that you like about the 1000 and more; plus the midrange fullness and refinement that you are missing. Fantastic cartridge that seems to like linear trackers in particular. They come up for sale occasionally. My favorite cartridge on the ET2 when my system configuration could handle .2 mv output.
Vinyl***What If***
Hypothetical here:
My new incoming Cayin integrated has a built in MM stage..IF I convinced myself I wanted to try vinyl & knowing absolutely nothing about set up,care etc..& do NOT like to constantly fiddle recommend me a complete,bare minimum setup...
Speakers are Harbeth M30.1 & cables are Nordost Lief Series Red Dawn...Thanks much..
