Would anyone care to opine or recommend a LOMC cartridge in the $200-$500 range for the above genres? It will be mounted to a low/medium mass straight arm pipe (I also have the heavier "S" shaped pipe)for a JVC QL-Y66F table. I'm using a tubed Audio Experience Solo MC step-up into the MM side of a Cambridge 640-P phono amp. The Solo has quite a bit more gain than the MC side of the 640-P alone. I'm using Klipsch speakers so my system leans a little toward the bright side. Any and all opinions and/or recommendations will be greatly appreciated.

Interestingly PIMCO looks to be one of the 1st to move forward in its lack of confidence in government bonds of UK and America.
This could cause aggravation for both governments as it puts the interest up on future loans they look to secure.

Good read if interested:

Happy New Year to all at Stereophile, I'm certainly looking forward to the year's articles reports and reviews.

I have three wishes for the New Year (well, these are my top 3, I have plenty of others):

1. Make the blogs searchable.

2. Index the regular columns by products covered, not just issue number.

3. Remove the one-year-at-a-time limit on searches in the forum.

Don't recall the issue, much less specific review and/or article (tho' I think the reviewer was Wes Phillips)...anyway, WP noted something like more RAM memory yields better sound (all else being equal).
What's your experience?
How much can one expect to gain WRT sound fidelity when adding x amount of memory? Is there an upper threshold (a point of diminishing returns) -- e.g., 4GB RAM, etc?

Shifting gears a bit, anyone do a head to head comparison of new SSD drives vs. std. magnetic HD?
