| BEST TONEARM FOR HIGH COMPLIANCE MM If a high compliance MM or MI cartridge was in my future, I would not hesitate to go the SME 3012 route. I had good results (back in the day) using a Grace 707, but there's no comparison to the SME 3012. | |

| Audio Research discontinuing lower lines components? It should be obvious. It's a business plan. They have built a substantial market in high-priced gear. They can lower overhead by reducing their line to very expensive, high-margin equipment. Fewer people, smaller manufacturing facilities, high... | |
| I am really disappointed with the hip-hop enthusiasts on Audiogon I can understand why there aren't more hip-hop audiophiles. Audiophiles like music. | |

| VPI or Pro-ject For a cartridge, you could take a hard look at an AT OC9/II. It needs careful set-up and a good phono stage, but will reward the listener far beyond it's price. I attribute the criticism for the OC9/II to poor set-up or a poor phono stage match up. | |

He attends electronics shows as part of his vacations and meets people who are in the forums and lists, spends time listening to equipment a... | |
| Amps which are Great, but either Unknown or Underpriced Herron Audio M1. Outstanding amp personally tested by Keith Herron. Not cold transistor sound, not artificially colored by tube warmth. Just clean, detailed, dynamic and musical. I own 6 Herron Audio amps, but 4 of them are too old to update t... | |
| ARC VT100MK2 substitute Everyone has their personal tastes, but my amp preference is the Herron M1. I have 6 Herron Audio amps, 4 x M150 (too early to qualify for upgrade) and 2 M1 amps. I have never been disappointed with them. Not transistor cold, but not tube warm,... | |

| What Cartridge please? Audio Technica ART-9. Save the rest of your money. | |
| Bass is not enough !!! Speaker problem? Speaker cable? Power Amp? PC of Power Amp? Bass is all about moving air, speaker placement and seating position. If one of those factors are wrong, then bass suffers. Period. | |
