RE: Rega P3,6,8 & Nagaoka cartridges and the 'Trade-up' Trap

"The bass is not as prominent as some might want. It is gentle and almost subtle. It was most noticeable on Led Zeppelin's 'Rock n Roll', where it all but disappeared."

Some records were made to be played loud and many of us, myself included, just don't do that anymore. I pulled out some van Halen two days ago and it sounded dead at my normal 75 to 80db baseline. Bump it up 10 or 15db and it sounds like I remember it. I went to a van Halen show years ago. In the parking lot after the show you could hear people trying to start cars that were already running. By then I had decent in-ear attenuators after having had my ears pinned back at a J.Geils show a few months earlier.
