    JICO neo SAS N9ed AR questions

    Hi All, I just received my JICO neoSAS-S for a Shure N91ed and I want to double check some things before I try it out. It’s going on my AR XB with a stock headshell.

    Keep AT 10 or Shure upgrade

    Hello, I have an AR XB turntable with an AT 10 cartridge, I like how it sounds but I'm starting to wonder if I should go for something like the Shure M97xe. The rest of the system is a Marantz 2325 (if you couldn't tell) paired with Ohm F cabinets with an early trade in can, not the original...
