| recommendation for a high end analog system @Chungji,As has been mentioned, your biggest issue is a cart and arm mass mismatch. Start there and solve that first...then re-assess.

| My conclusion: mid level $$ analog vs digital There are two steak filets. Take one steak...cut out very thin strips along the length of it and put it back together so it looks like a steak again. If you do it very carefully and pat it down just right, you wouldn't even know the difference fro... |
