Skeptics believe:cartridge makes a HUGE difference

"The argument that science and engineering is limited so anything is possible is often used to justify. That may be true, but in of itself basically means the odds of success are limited, so proceed accordingly."

I don't get what you are saying. If science and engineering is limited, I don't see how that can that can be used to justify a claim. I think I'm just not reading your post in the way you meant it.

Congrats Elegal!

I also enjoyed a very noticeable upgrade when I replaced the DV 10XGold L/RB303 with the Delos/RB808. I am hoping that the upcoming Graham Slee Reflex C, soon to replace the DV P-75, will make a signinficant upgrade as well.

As Czarivey pointed out, I am also curious to know what was replaced.

Happy listening!

Zd,

What I meant to say and did not very clearly perhaps is that the fact that science and engineering is limited is not sufficient to justify trying things that cannot be explained because the odds of success applying engineering principles and techniques that are well supported scientifically are fairly high while the odds of success applying those that cannot are orders of magnitude less.

So the only rational approach is to first make sure one addresses principles thoroughly first. That alone can be quite an undertaking!

I always question anyone who dwells or is biased towards merits of highly unsubstantiated claims. That should be maybe 10% or less of the overall conversation, not the whole story itself.

Of course the cartridge makes a huge difference. This is where the interface from physical to electrical takes place in vinyl playback begins. This is the source component. Of course it makes a difference.

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