Wharfedale Lintons ... Any great amp pairings?
Op…did you do anything…is the thread done? Well, Good Luck.  
Good value vintage pressing of CCR Cosmo’s Factory?
Thanks guy…looks like I can’t rule out new pressings …and I forgot about the Japanese pressings….I used have Japanese pressed Zeppelins and was very impressed!     Anyway, sounds like some decent discussion is spawning…so please keep it coming.

@mijostyn … thanks for the info…was hoping there was some magic lens you could attach to your phone.  Definitely could pay for itself for the right cases.

@rauliruegas , @mijostyn, et al: What equipment / phone apparatus? do you use to take these magnified stylus photos? Might be good to help monitor my own stylus wear?

$300-$500 Cartridge for Thorens TD-1601 Turntable
Love the Nagaoka 200—would look no further. Absolutely superb cartridge. Funny, if I ever buy a new table …will look very seriously at the 1601. Let me know how it works out if you go that way.   I would personally avoid the Ortofon Bronze, FWIW.

What Brand Of Hearing Aids Are Audiophiles Using?
if you get a reputable, established provider, they will let you demo them for a few weeks before buying…so, there’s really nothing to lose except maybe the cost of appts. There are many types and degrees of hearing loss…but I’m hear to tell you ...
