| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Lewm, which 400 series Acutex do you have? Would be very interested in your thoughts about it in comparison to the 320 models that you have. Thank you! In answer to your question, I have found my Acutex 420 STR to work very well on my ET2. My Em... | |
| Why Sinatra??? I too prefer Sinatra by a wide margin; especially a young Sinatra. Although neither as much as Bennet, but that’s a different story. Sinatra’s phrasing was impeccable and considered by many singers and instrumentalists as “the standard”. The parti... | |

| Want to get into Analog big_greg, thanks for your response. I’m trying to get a better sense of what you consider to be “better” sound; while admitting that you get more enjoyment from the (apparently) lesser. “Revealing” can mean different things to different listeners... | |
