I Will Just keep on walkin in a cold November Rain (once a year)

probably covid related at the factory

I should have asked are we talking low mass med. mass or high tonearms for the carts?

My favorite is a Shure V-15-II I have a few of the Shure V-15-III with jaco sis and a few others and I should be picking one of them but I like and prefer the v-15-II sound. I think it is because that is what I had in the old days (could not afford the top dog III) and am just used to it?

Sony HAP Z1ES Player is $1700 and has no Hi Res or Tidal streaming wow!

When you set them up if there is anyway you can give them at least 3 feet from the back wall you will love them Turns that back area into a nice bass bin. Even a foot on the sides is fine because the sound pattern is like a figure 8 so there is not much on the sides at first.

I just drag or copy paste over the .Flac files to a usb stick and push it in the players usb port it then plays it with its software player. In windows I use dbpoweramp cd ripper (has a small fee) in linux I use abcde but dbpoweramp cd ripper is a good product. And then you can choose the level of flac to use default is level 5 I use 8 or 10

One of the worst things that can happen to you is getting the super sweet spot and then for no other reason other than thinking there might even be a sweeter spot that is being missed out on you move things just a little bit and then can never get the super sweet spot back. Even the tape on the floor doesn't do it, it is gone and you have to start all over lol

I don't even turn on my trucks radio anymore because it has no comparison to the 2 channel rig at home.

The closest song that comes to mind is "Ride On" with Bon Scott

The room shape matters a lot but a good rule of thumb is to point the ribbons at your ears at the seated position. Then back it off a little at a time until you have good sound stage.
