Unfortunately you see *****ers like that all the time. He got what he deserved, and will get even more when the CHP and courts are done with him. Fortunately he didn't kill someone else, this time...- DigiPete

shaizada, When you get yours, I'd love to come hear it, or if you want to come up to Palmdale with it, I'd love to demo it against my SWP9.0SE Signature Modwright Stage. Cheers Pete- DigiPete

High output MC cartridge compatible with MM only phono stages?
I was using a Denon DL160 with my receiver's phono inputs, and later with a CIA VPP1 (40 db gain?) with no problems.- DigiPete

Hey Vinyl spinners what cart are you using right now?
Currently have the Denon DL160, but I just bought an SME 309 arm, and I am considering the Zyx Fuji cart. Any thoughts on 0.24 vs. 0.48 mv, copper vs silver coils?- DigiPete

Looking to Mod Denon 3930CI: Options?
The SACDmods 3930 is a great source and you won't be dissappointed. This is the second Denon I've had modded by Matt Anker, and I have always been quite pleased with the results. Lots of bang for your buck, and the mods are much more thorough than typical cap, diode and resistor modders...- DigiPete

Best budget cartridge: Shure M97XE, Ortofon OM10/OMB10, Denon DL-110/160, or AT440ML?
