Recent retip(canti also) Dude where did my soundstage width go
Most people who retip their cartridges can't afford proper replacements and shouldn't have bought expensive items in the first place. Then they have to convince themselves that somehow the retip sounds as good.  
Golden ear triton 1 vs tekton double impact speakers
Heard both, strongly prefer B&W 703 S2 to either.  
Recent retip(canti also) Dude where did my soundstage width go
Retip is a waste of money as I said from the beginning and as you now know first hand. Congrats on a new proper cartridge.

Why are my woofers pumping?
This has to be the most ridiculous thread on Audiogon at the moment. Everything and all of it. OP, I told you it’s a problem YOU can’t solve. Just enjoy the music. Some of these things are just part of vinyl. Many comments here have crossed the li...

Gyro SE. Is it even a question? 
Cartridge or Pre Amp
100K loading on most MM cartridges will create a very large peak around 10kHz. And possibly a small reduction throughout the midrange. In a fake way, this can make an MM cartridge sound more like MC. But is that really what you want? There are thr...
