...with a new Black/2 stylus at 2 grams. Grado recommends 1.6 grams for the Black/2.
The late Marc Morin who used to post on AK was a Gradohead, recommended 1.75 grams, so what's another half a gram from there?
You won't damage records, that's for sure.

The blissful counterstroke-a considerable new message.

ask E-Stat if he knew Mark Porzilli and George Bischoff of Personalized Audio in NJ and Melos Audio and Pipedreams. They've been to Seacliff a few times. They were the ones that turned me on to this cheap little Grado that sounded so good

I heard some fantastic stuff there. the Big Stats, the huge tube Amps, the Syrinx Tonearms on Pink Triangle tables. It used to make this poor boy drool
- We had a place like that in Pittsburgh. - ghost of olddude55 15:07:04 03/06/24 (2)
  And they had a second store in Indiana, PA.
  The good old days.

  - the closest store for Audio around here is Best Buy, and they pretty much suck - Story 04:07:00 03/07/24 (1)
    ...salesmen know very little about Audio History, especially Tubes.
    
    Ask a question and get a lot of double/triple talk. And they are usually busy in another department anyway.
    
    I only go when I need an accessory or to look at vinyl and reminisce.
    - We still have a couple... - ghost of olddude55 04:10:05 03/07/24 (0)
      One place sells used and new LPs, also Rega, Elac, MoFi, Grado, Audio Technica.
      The other joint is a Magnepan dealer.
      What really killed off brick and mortar audio here was the 1980s recession.
      Killed a lot of family-owned independent business besides audio.
