Thinking of upgrading my cart, I was thinking of changing the om5, has anyone upgraded to a OM 10,20 or 30. If so were the results worth the outlay ? I've read a couple of threads about upgrading the project cartridge and cannot find a definite response. I think going down this route would...

I plugged in my 530's today and the left channel has gone really quiet. I have tried different leads etc and am sure the problem is in the actual IEM. Looks like they will have to go for repair. My question is for those who have had experience with shure service department. How quick is...

This may be a stupid question but I am going to try and rip some vinyl through my laptop using Audacity then put it into my ipod. Is the microphone socket and the standard sound card good enough or am I totally wasting my time an should invest in some sort of audio interface. Thanks
