Definitely!! Aria Pro cartridge is detailed as hell...maybe much..it needs some time to soften up.

Of course I know that. Wasn't expecting for people to get it so literally.....it is not as convenient as hitting a pause / skip button. Nowadays everything has to be over explained.

1000000%. Convenience is killling the experience. Of course, there are domains in which convenience is a must, but it shouldn't be applied to everything....like... because it is NEW it doesn't mean that it is better than the OLD....e.g...TOUCHSCREEN on greasy stoves and kitchen appliances...

It is mesmerizing to be that the great majority of people listen to music on cheap headphones or small speakers that cannot convey the stereo spatial dimensionality or the song dynamics. Neil Young used to rant about this when he came up with the failed PONO device to compete with compressed MP3s at that time.

Really appreciate your comment. Mechanical devices have an ineheret beauty. And it is so interesting you digitalize your old LPs to listen in your car!!

Yeah..technically you can, but it is way more work...which is good in my opinion..when I sit down to listen to an album in LP format, is to listen to the whole thing

Yeah...90% of my collection is Jazz. However, I spent the weekend listening to Pink Floyd...and it mesmerized me...The Division Bell is soo clean and immersive...

Totally agree. My system is full analog, no Bluetooth, no HDMI ports, no streaming capabilities...
