What Cartridge(s) Is Everyone Using
I just scored an AT24, which I think is the same as the Signet TK10ml, or close. What an incredible cartridge for a price that's 1/10th of a few MCs that I have. I am a huge fan of whatever the special sauce they use to provide such incredible value, both historically and in their current line...- Robert Young

Tube Dampers
Every tweak every audiophile does increases soundstage, refines the bass, clarifies micro-dynamics, and brings out richer harmonic texture. And then, after every tube is swathed in yak’s butter and squeezed by himilayan silicone, all interconnects are frozen in deep space, and bits of ancient...- Robert Young

Best SS amp for $200

Tube Dampers
I’ve tried dampers, back when i had hope that some 2-digit investment would improve my equipment by a 4-digit amount. Wanted them to work, but really they did nothing. Fooling oneself doesn’t overcome the basic physics problem.- Robert Young

Ordering a Bokrand Tonearm
Alfred has been in hospital. He got out only a couple of days ago. I can imagine this is beyond frustrating for many who have ordered and not received their arms. Promises matter, and in this Alfred has let down the side. We all should know his story by now, so no need to explain. When you do...- Robert Young
