| Usher's 718 BE monitor: Is it competitive with other monitors of the same vintage ? Never support theft and fraud. Usher blatantly steals from other loudspeaker manufacturers and makes money. | |
| Linear tracking turntables, whatever happened? Linear trackers kind of suck. So do unipivot tonearms. | |
| best mm/mc preamp under $200 and best mc cartridge under $500 for an SME 3009 S2 arm ? Best phono preamp that I have ever heard and at any price (for both MM and MC) is the Micromega MyGroov. It regularly sells on eBay for under $200. I also have a Parasound JC3+ that I enjoy. Micromega is pure magic. Just to show how serious I am a... | |
| Vinyl Sleeves and Jackets MOFI sleeves and nothing else. Ultrasonic cleaning is snake oil and actually makes records sound worse. | |
| If you love the Ortofon 2M Black, you'll really love...... (help me upgrade) Vessel is a rebranded Excel cartridge from Japan. Same guys who make the Hana. Clearaudio MM cartridges are cheap Audio-Technica’s encapsulated in wood coverings. Ortofon 2M Black obliterates the above in every possible way. | |
| Looking for mc cartridge in $1000-$1500 range. You should go MM and don’t look back. | |
| If you love the Ortofon 2M Black, you'll really love...... (help me upgrade) IMO, 2M Black is the best cartridge of all time and at any prince. Enjoy it and treasure it. I have several at home and will buy more. Technicolor magic. | |
| Recommendations for an MC cart on Audiogon @lewm It doesn’t matter that some MC cartridges can be incredibly detailed, refined, and fast. They offend me on a fundamental level. They just sound wrong. The tonal character and frequency curve of MC is not what real music sounds like. And ther... | |
| Cartridge Upgrade ...AT ART-9? Ortofon 2M Black is magic of technicolor proportion. | |
| Best turntable and arm under 10k? SME Model 10A. SME makes the best turntables and tonearm s in the world. | |
| Improving streaming SQ OP, get a turntable. | |
| Hear my Cartridges....🎶 I'm going to be 100% honest here, Ortofon 2M Black is a much superior cartridge to either of the ATs. The midrange illumination and technicolor on the 2M Black is absolutely magic. | |
| VPI Classic 3 or SME 20/2 Congratulations OP!!! I use a Model 10A with an Ortofon 2M Black. Absolutely magical. | |
| Recommendations for an MC cart on Audiogon Why would anyone be interested in MC, when even a cheap simple MM blows away the top MC? Raul has lost his mind. | |
| Hear my Cartridges....🎶 Such awesome comparisons. Thanks! In virtually every single case (100% of the time) MM/MI completely wipes the floor with MC. It’s not even close IMO. MC is annihilated. MM has vivid life, technicolor, texture, and harmonics. What a shame that peo... |
