Favorite Dylan?
So very much of Dylan's work got by me as a youth when it first came out and I never quite got him, now with the reissues of those older albums and my need for vinyl I find that it is uncanny in the way his music speaks to me and just can't get en... 
Grading phono cartridges Part 2.
Interesting, thanks 
Technics 1200 GAE, 1200GR or 1200G?
The three belts are achieved by using the HRX pulley but I could not justify 3 belts over 2, with that said you will need the SDS to play at 45 rpms and that introduces a new issue of the motor being audible at the higher speed. I have had my Prim... 
Looking for the best moving coil cart that is around $5K used
Sorry I just can't get past the fact that you think the table doesn't  matter and that a 400.00 pioneer sounds as good as a VPI Scoutmaster AND that you are willing to strap a 5,000.00 used cart to the end of the latter to achieve best sound.

This phenomenon isn't restricted to just cables, new phono cartridges, tube amps, digital equipment, headphones and I can go on and on.  
Review Audioquest Hurricane (part 2)
I feel the need for one of my long walks coming on.

What’s in your system today that you also had 10 years ago?

How does one (grow) as a music listener/lover?
I just love the feeling I get as I am starting to discover new artist, new to me, that have gotten by me for one reason or another and the artist that come into play because of the discovery of that artist. 
Has anyone NOT listened to their system for a long time?
Yea, just went 4 days and cranking tunes now, sounds awesome. 4 days is a long time for me, just can't get this monkey off my back.
