why P mount cartridges were not very successful. They're very simple to
install - no muss, no fuss, no need to invest a whole lot of money in
infrequently used accessories - and they all sounded fine to my ear.
My gut feeling is that people who like vinyl are inveterate fiddlers and
tinkerers: they actually enjoy jumping up every 15-20 minutes to change
the record, fiddling with VTA, trying new tt mats, adjusting tracking
weight, washing records, spending money on inner and outer record sleeves,
trying different carts and styli, etc., etc., ad nauseam. Personally,
I like to pop the disc in the player and listen uninterrupted for an hour
or so. YMMV or course ...
