| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul, I had the Platinum, moved up to the Sonata, and now I have The Reference Master 2; I have never been so happy with my rig in my entire life; it's so musical. https://www.audioadvice.com/grado-reference-master2-phono-cartridge.html ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I thought I would share my memory of a train trip to Detroit, and some impressions of a great American city.My father drove me to the station, and carried my bags to the train where he knew the conductor from back in their "hay days". This was the... | |
