Re: Good, Cheap, Cartridges

For £350 I am guessing AT33PTG/ii or the OC9ML. Both great cartridges. I think Audio Technica offers superb value for money, even if the latest models seem to have increased in price. One of my favourite cartridges os the AT20. Not particularly cheap for a vintage cartridge, but sounds lovely. I am ...

Re: DAC to the Future

I have still not bought my new DAC, but as the end of year bonus is coming up I have been tempted by the Topping D70, or more probably the Sabaj D5. Has anybody heard them?
