| New Phono Cart with Character Needed Myself, I'm thinking the Shelter 501 iii may be a good choice. I buy a new Cartridge every two years. My 1200GR Tone Arm is not a good match for an SPU or Denon 103. Fremer did a review a few years back: https://www.analogplanet.com/content/g... | |
| The Sound Quality Of Commercially Pre-Recorded Reel-To-Reel Albums I have had numerous pre recorded R2R tapes back in he day. Some good, some not so good. Unfortunately, back in the 60's and 70's and probably 80's, many tape editions were afterthoughts. Although some name Mastering Engineers did do a "Tape Duplic... | |

| Torus power vs the competition @audiotroy Did you ever get around to testing the Tarus? | |
