    Cartridge/Sylus doubt from a beginner

    Hello fellow audiophiles, I've been thinking about entering the vinyl world for years, but as I travel like crazy for work, I kept second-guessing myself and ended up not buying it. That changed today... I just purchased a Pioneer PL-518 (!) and I'm very excited about it. It seems to work...

    Cartridge comparison needle drop sticky

    Given the amount of questions re cartridges, and the fact few of us have compared any others than those we own, I wonder if people would be interested in a sticky where they could post needle drops for people to compare.
