Halcro - like in "silence is golden"? If the music is bad, no cartridge will save you...
Downunder - yes, the Thales arm looks very interesting. I had a parallel arm (Souther/Clearaudio) ten years ago but could never make it work. The Thales design seems in another class. Does it track ok? What was the arm you had before?
Yesterday I pulled out my Aesthetix Benz MC demagnetizer, and reconnected the batteries (they tend to go flat, if connected). I used it two times, both phono leads connected. Its been eight months since the last time. Did I hear a difference? Yes. Clearer sound. I find it interesting that the difference is easy to hear even with the small Fanfare 3 stage I use now (my main phono stage is on repair).
