For now ima use the preinstalled AT-VM95E, but the additional included extra cart has better numbers....slightly

got my tracking force set to 1.95g, aligned things, got the cardas iridium installed, swapped in my kimber 12TC pair on the Paradigm monitor v5, powered by a sony DA5ES, for now

Seriously considering purchasing the DAC module for my Schiit Asgard 3 and replacing my Hel 2E with it. Later, if I get some passive bookshelf speakers for the desktop, I can get a Rekkr or Gjallarhorn to power the speakers. If I do, I'll need to sell the Hel.
 
I'd love to have a set of magnepans or logans, but I have cats, a cone is cheap, reskinning an esl? Might as well buy a new set. My oldest brother had a set of ML Clx2s, truly, literally, jawdropping

I have two cats, Lagertha and Big Boy. Lagertha, when she was younger, tried sharpening her claws on my Maggies. Never hit the diaphragms, but did hit the sock on the edge of one of them. Invested in some ant-cat spray to go on the Maggies and she stopped. Big Boy is too fat and lazy to mess with anything other than laying on the bed and eating.
 
through the years my cats never did mess with any of the four pair of Maggie's that I had. Nor the Martin Logan ReQuest lower woofer panels.
 
I have a stupid question for the forum. Does anybody use Litz wire (oxygen free) connectors for pickups any more? Or is it more like the lead covered bricks sold to combat "room resonance" placed on your amps. So much bs in high end audio. BTW- did you know the little bones in your ears calcify over time? At one time (as documented by our great US Army) I could hear into the low ultrasonic range. Drove me nuts and I was called a liar many times. the store I worked at in High School had an ultrasonic ( supposed State of the art centuries ago) alarm set when we closed. I tried to be outside when they turned it on, but every once in a while stayed to close out registers or prep a bank deposit. Got called a liar every time, but I never knew where the switch was or who threw it when. Now I can't t even hear if you call me for dinner. Being an aircraft mechanic took care of that problem pretty fast. And yes, I spent crazy money on audio and music equipment. Why I don't own my own country today...if you don't count getting married....

Litz wire used to be popular for tonearm wiring and I know there were people back in the day who wanted everything in their system using that wire, But we all know that the wire debate will be never ending.

When I went to get my hearing tested the guy was asking me questions and I was telling him about my abuse of my ears because of my trade, working in commercial air conditioning and always being next to compressors or fan motors, and then there was 50 years of heavy headphone use.... and the time at McDonnell Douglas banging rivets on aircraft wings, and playing in big bands, Then add in the calcification you mentioned above, Then add the CMT disease destroying the nerves throughout my body, I'm surprised I have any hearing left at all.
