CD Got Absolutely Crushed By Vinyl
I am glad people are starting to listen to digital more.  More records for me! 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?

Technics Turntables...really???
the thing is with the 1200G, vintage moving magnet cartridges on this table sound better than setups costing in excess of 10K.  You can use MC cartridges on the arm but the older MM cartrs really shine on this table to the point that I do not desi...
