MM Cartridge Recommendation
The 2m Bronze stylus may give you a bit more "musical" character. The Bronze and Black share the same cartridge.  
Technics SP 10 mc II. Worth looking at?
Any good sellers of restored sp 10's? 
Turntable Advice Needed
Where did you get that information from?The DJ model is mk7, not the GR (no matter what color).The SL1210 mk7 and SL1200GR are different turntables. The GR available in two colors S (silver) and B (black).The mk7 also available in two colors 1200 ... 
Technics moving all turntable production to Malaysia
Anyone else get a Malaysia Technics and have any issues? 
Anyone tried the Ortofon Concorde century Cartridge?
Im still really enjoying my KAB Concorde with 40 stylus. One thing that has really surprised me is how good a 78 rpm can sound ( using the 78 stylus). I have some near mint big band 78s and they really pop. Even with the RIAA curve of my phono pre... 
If you love the Ortofon 2M Black, you'll really love...... (help me upgrade)
If a 2m black wanted a more “ romantic” ( mentioned earlier) sounding cartridge than the black, wouldn’t a bronze stylus do the trick? 
PS Audio BHK lacking..
Any updates?

New Bluesound Node – First Impressions
I wished the Node would pass a dsd signal onto a dac thru usb 
Pass X150.5 or Odyssey Stratos monos?
I read on a forum that If Odyssey placed a giant colorful $5 VU meter on its amps, they could raise the price by a significant amount. When I shop for an amp again, Odyssey will be on my list. I've never heard anything but positive things about th... 
Class A amplifiers
I know there are many FirstWatt amps, class A, that have been running for many years without needing service. My J2 is only 2 years old, I am thinking I'm good for at least 10 years without a check up.  
Tonearm for Technics 1200GR
I'd be curious (i know they are two different levels of turntables) how much better the VPI Anniversary DD TT would sound next to the 1200GR/G if cartridge/phono pre, etc were the same. The VPI is super nice, however, a huge difference in price 
Technics 1200 MK2 vs Technics SL-1210GR
I have a GR and thought I would upgrade in a couple of years. I have no desire to upgrade. In my opinion, higher end cartridges and phono pre would be a logical step before even thinking about upgrading the table itself.  
Technics moving all turntable production to Malaysia
I wonder if the Luxmans are still made in Japan?
