Audio Technica AT-OC9XML and AT-OC9XSL MC Cartridges premium
With the AT-OC9XML and AT-OC9XSL, I wanted to investigate the relative performance of the Special-) Fine Line versus MicroRidge/MicroLinear stylus shapes. And what better way to do this than by using otherwise practically identical cartridges of the same brand?

AVID Ingenium, Diva II SP, and Sequel SP premium
In this review, I will dive very deeply into all the aspects of three Avid Turntables, how they compare to one another, how they interact with different tonearms and cartridges, and where exactly each model excels. Be prepared - this has resulted in a very long article, even by my standards, but there's a summary for those who want to jump straight to the conclusion.

Audio Technica AT-HS10 and Ortofon LH 2000 Turntable Headshells premium
