I'm not sure how much impact a new cartridge has on sound improvement combined with the new speakers, but some of the old vinyls sound just great.

Today's spins:
Beatles:Abbey Road Cat Stevens:Tea for the Tillerman Ozark Mtn Daredevils:Car over the Lake Album

Has cartridge technology/quality substantially improved since I got my previous cartridge (apprx 1989)? Same question for cd's. The large majority of my current cd's are from the 80's and 90's. Are regular cd's manufactured today generally of higher audio quality than those made 15 - 20 years ago?

p.s. Great pictures of old/new crossovers done by your friend. It looks fairly simple and maybe I'll look into doing that with the 1.6's after a while. Would probably feel much more secure if I could find somebody local who knows what the hell he's doing. I'd have no trouble buying all the parts and paying for the labor.

What you propose is not that difficult. I have a reasonable amount of experience with mods of speakers and amps. Maybe I could be of assistance. I live in Phila. which should not be that far. Send me a PM and maybe we can arrange something.
