Hi critics critics, you have to read Herb Reicherts latest article in Stereophile. It's a follow up to the Pioneer PLX 1000 turntable.First of all the article is captivating and made me go back to my stack of Stereophiles and look for the original article in March on the Pioneer.His article made we want that turntable more than a Rockport spinner or a Magico monolith! What he said in( finally) was with this Pioneer and the cheapest Shure cartride,50 bucks?,oh,and the Schitt American made 129 dollar phono preamp that he would be happier than the time he had a 30.000 dollar turntable,30.000 dollar cartridge,ect,ect. Does not this go against Stereophiles mission making a moot point and risking his believability as a hifi journalist or was he just plain honest and that's why his article grabbed me? Anyway, was Herb on herb when he said tracking your cartridge at 4.5 grams won't hurt your records in the least.To me that's like putting a penny on your AR turntables headshell, and since I didn't my old vinyl has remained pretty good I think.Will Herb be given a mega priced component to review after this article? Is he the new Steve Meg.? Herb is why subscribing to Stereophile goes ahead of paying important bills to me. Did anyone else read this July issue.....Mark Korda
