Want to upgrade my cartridge from 2m blue to black
I would not put a 2M Black on that turntable; that's a 750$ cartridge with a Shibata tip, not interchangeable with the Blue stylus. I  agree that you should get a better table first instead of just a different cartridge. Or maybe just get the 2M B...

And those dark energy boys can just keep playing in the dark; I will stick with my nine foot universe.....it encompasses the things I can embrace, reject, or control. No need to call NASA 
The Science of Cables
Like I posted earlier, and what mrdon considers funny, ears are the best instrument for evaluating sound. Just like some people can see better than others, some people can hear better than others. Simple, yes. Funny, maybe (just like vision and he... 
The Science of Cables
Ears remain the best test instrument and practically no ears are like any other ears. What I mean is that if your ears protrude further from the side of your head than normal you will hear totally differently than someone who has ears that remain ... 
Shipping speakers
Just use the US Postal Service; they go almost everywhere almost every day. It’s why they lose so much money each year. Nobody else could do this.

Hey tommy boy, to a lot of audiophiles it IS a religion. Where have you been? I myself am an innocent bystander in all this but I'm astute enough to recognize mania (religion) when I see it. Many or even most audio nuts will stick with whatever th... 
Shipping speakers
I would think it would be just as cheap to rent a U Haul and drive them to the destination if you consider shipping and insurance charges from a third party. I figure it couldn't be much more than 400 miles from MD to RI but I've never been to eit... 
Speaker Cables and Carpet
mkgus I would guess that your carpet and rubber layers create a static charge in the speaker cables that are down there. You need to get them out of there and run them in the wall if you’re overly concerned with cosmetics or else just exposed but ...

This digital versus analog issue is one best compared to believers in a particular religion. The most prevalent religions are Christianity, Judaism, and Islam. Music can be analog, digital, or a live performance. Take your pick but be advised that...

Single minded is more like it; a lot of these folks have invested considerable resources in whatever they're advocating; if they didn't advocate for what they invested in, they would be remiss or at least "short sighted" so there's a considerable ...

Dark Vader came over tonight; we had dark chicken and listened to some rather light music in the dark. Dark prefers to listen to analog because he says the digital hurts his head. I don't mind. Dark don't matter. 
Any advice on buying quality vinyl
Acoustic Sounds is a good place to get records. Don't have any experience with the hot stamper crowd. I suspect they are more hype than anything else.

Ears; they say your ears never stop growing for as long as you live. Hell, look at Lyndon Johnson. But never mind that. I've noticed that several folks have disputed my assertion that ears are analog. How could they not be analog? Just consider yo...

tomcy, you are absolutely right; how could I be so blind.....thinking it "....is not all about you" when, in fact, tomcy, it's all about YOU. And thanks for your psychoanalysis. I'll have four digital chickens and an analog Coke.

Interesting articles, professor. I can follow the writer’s reasoning but none of it will convince me to forsake analog music reproduction. I am perhaps remiss in my simplistic comparisons between digital and analog; I admit to not being an expert ...
