CUTTING DOWN A TONEARM CABLE
Dear @millercarbon ​​​​​@czarivey  1. Cables are coiled up and messy 2. Nothing to do with my understanding Re capacitance - that was my question - does shortening cable cause any such issue in the forums experience 3 I asked the forum to ‘do t...

Cost of Turntable vs. cost of Phono Stage

Turntable versus tonearm versus cartridge: which is MOST important?
@rauliruegas  I did raise the trough and the vintage bargain as curveballs - just for a bit of fun - and it may well have digressed.IMHO if it is based upon how one splits the budget (and i am going to do it on the basis of new equipment) turntabl...
