Skeptics believe:cartridge makes a HUGE difference

Zd542 - don't worry, I don't get it either.

Your point is very clear and a good one. Personally, I feel that a lot of the mystery that lies in between what we can currently measure and what we can only hear, should be dealt with using well conducted listening tests. I get a lot resistance with that one, though.

Well, no surprise there with Mr. Machina Dynamica, I must say.

That's really the only practical way, though as is often pointed out, one must be careful about drawing cause and effect conclusions whenever something different is heard.

FOr example, I recently replaced some damaged standard issue power cords with other more costly ones from Pangea. I am pretty certain I heard differences immediately after each switch in terms of lower distortion levels, but they are subtle and I have to say that sometimes I am not certain, in that things sounded pretty good in this regard to start with. But they seemed to work well as designed and are well made products, so I have little reason to look back. I would probably do the same thing again for the same reasons if I had to.

Just to be clear, I wasn't finding fault. My comment was meant to be a literal one. I just didn't fully understand Mapman's comment the way he worded it. Nothing more than that.

Congrats Elegal! Transfiguration cartridge and Verity speakers should make beautiful music together!! Enjoy the music!
