New Cartridge or New Stylus
@yogiboy said another way, my hesitation on the new stylus comes from doing the same previously with the Audio Technica SS445E/U and upgrading the original nude stylus to a LP Gear Shibata style stylus.  I didn't like this presentation - it was to... 
New Cartridge or New Stylus
ok seems like a good point.  so you think it would be more of an upgrade to get this high level ViVid Line Stylus, than to move to a Sumiko Rainer or Sumiko Olympia?   What parts of the sound produced determined by the cartridge versus the stylus?  
New Cartridge or New Stylus

New Cartridge or New Stylus

Comparing Powerline Ethernet to WiFi for streaming audio
@ddriveman Thanks for your post.  It was very helpful to me.  I had the exact same experience you did.  My wifi streaming sounded lovely, however an internet tech (after installing Fiber) recommended I try Powerline adaptors. First I tried the TP... 
Moving into an apartment with wood joist floors - worried about neighbors hearing
Bring cookies to the downstairs neighbors and introduce yourself. Exchange contact info but don’t say anything about the speakers - then see how it goes. If you don’t hear anything from them then no worries. They may hear some things but it may no...

ISO - grit, texture, decay, life from snares and bass drums
Hi all, happy thanksgiving. By way of an update, I moved my Loki EQ to my main system, did an initial tuning with Pink Noise, and then tweaked back with listening. For those unfamiliar it’s a pretty simple EQ with only 4 knobs and here’s where I ...
