Synergistic Red Fuse ...
I preferred you when you were Tommy...

But your irony is lost on (pretty much) everyone here. 
Synergistic Red Fuse ...
Hahahaha. Doesn't get more serious than that.

Geoff, like I say, I appreciate your sense of humour, but it's costing people money. Stop it.

The issue is this: People new to our hobby might read this thread in the future and get hopelessly caught up in your nonsense, spending ludicrous amounts of money on BS, fuses being the thin edge of the wedge. Your stance is unethical.

Ain't wasting time! This is fun for us.

I should point out to Geoff/Tommy, before he attacks me, that I love his performance art; it's provided many chuckles. (Dark Matter Paint. Ha! That had me giggling for days. Seriously. Very, very funny.)

Ortofon Red vs. Ortofon Blue
Nope, I have OCD, and the cartridge was perfectly set up. Maybe it was a bad stylus, who knows, but it definitely had IGD. The Blue on the same table did not. 
Ortofon Red vs. Ortofon Blue
Yeah, true. Ragged is the wrong adjective. It's ragged on worn records on the inner grooves is what I meant, whereas the Blue is always smooth. Considering how long a stylus lasts I think the Blue, for the sake of an extra hundred bucks or so, rep... 
Ortofon Red vs. Ortofon Blue
They have a similar sound but the Red is slightly ragged and has bad inner groove distortion. The Blue has no IGD and sounds more refined. It will also play worn records which are unlistenable with the Red. Totally worth it if you have lots of sec...
