bdp24- I agree,  technical prowess is only part of the equation.Johnny Winter,  was one of the few guys that got away with playing a bazillion notes, yet sound musical.Hopefully,these  2 will mature and it will show in their phrasing, less notes, ...

Cartridge for Technics SL-1200GAE
I am not an owner of this nice table, but have heard one with an already mentioned cart.Audio Technica ART9. Very believable presentation. I have one on my table-VPI Classic. https://www.lpgear.com/product/ATART9.htmlIf you have the gain for a low... 
$100,000 line stage
The review is weak. No technical  breakdown of construction. Can anyone explain the circuit board that appears to be plywood? Are the components mounted on this, and point to point wiring is employed on the backside?Looks like stock from my Jr. Hi... 
$100,000 line stage
For  that price, Audio Note should have put the electronics in a nice case. It looks like a unit with a retail cost of $2k! Doesn't appear to have fancy feet either. For the price, it should have the BEST Stillpoints or equivalent.There is a threa... 
Forgive my ignorance. Now to start over. . . .
