Forgot to mention the Thread`s Title over on AA.."Should I be Concerned About This Cartidge???"Might help someone contemplating a used purchase.

Tube Amp For Revel F52`s...?
Thanks Zavato..I picked up a PRISTINE Rogue Stereo 90.Even though the tubes are only 3 years old, I ordered a quad of Tung Sol KT120`s from Mark @ Rogue .Later on I`ll change out the others. Great suggestion ! I also changed it to the 4 ohm settin... 
Tube Amp For Revel F52`s...?
Come to think of it..I`ve got an old McIntosh MC240 that`s been sitting here for about 15 years. Maybe I`ll hook it up to a variac and see if it will function after all these years.Would an old MC240 have enough in it to get the job done ? 
Tube Amp For Revel F52`s...?
I was looking into a McCormack SS to put in place of my Parasound 1500A. But a tube amp like the Sonic Frontiers just may fit the bill.It`s a new thought and for me largely uncharted waters..lot`s of research ahead of me.

Upgrade my Rega planar 3 or just move on ? update
For some reason the acrylic platter idea doesn`t seem as cost effective as some of the other changes.I`m also leary of straying away from the Rega sound that I obviously like.It`s too bad pictures can`t be posted in the forum because I`m having a ... 
New Cart? Best all around performer...MM or HO
I had a Sumiko BPS EVO and I replaced it with the new Micro ridge version Dyna 20XH.I liked the EVO, especially for the $$ spent.But the Dyna simply has it all over the EVO in every way. I honestly can`t come up with a single area where the EVO mi...
