Re: Grado Master 2 MC Cartridge
Forgot to add-
From the koetsu cartridges to the grado cartridges I heard a large drop in grain right across the frequency range. There was definitely less grain on the urushi than on the rosewood... -

Re: Grado Master 2 MC Cartridge

Re: Grado Master 2 MC Cartridge
Just read information on the new grado cartridges as I was unaware they had brought new high end cartridges out audiobill.

Re: Jbl k2 s9900
Hehe. Just read back all my posts from today and it sounds like I am desperately trying to convince myself that I have made the right decision and justify the outlay on my new speakers.

Re: Jbl k2 s9900
I also pondered the sonus faber il cremonese which over here in England is considerably cheaper than the jbl k2 s9900.
