Hi Kenneth, Trying to decode the symbols, I guess you're talking about 8 speakers, with 4 being Cerwin Vega 15" models, perhaps something like CVA-115, with active crossovers and power amps built-in? If so, that may be an extraordinary amount of power in a residential setting! I imagine you've had to be careful to avoid excessive acoustic feedback to the Thorens turntable. I wonder what phono cartridge you're using with that... Thanks for posting.

Man. Dynagroove recordings sound great. And I listen at concert hall levels thanks to 4 CV AT15s and 4 Bose 901s And a pair of BA 212s...a Thorens 125 Soundsmith Hyperion mk2

If J. Gordon Holt were still here I would kick him in the balls for being instrumental in criticizing Dynagroove. I have a full reference stereo and the old Dynagroove records come the closest to a live orchestra of any records I own and I own thousands etc.. I don’t give a damn about flaunting my system or its equipment. All I care about is the music. I don’t care if its a $200 speaker or a $200,000 speaker. Dismissing Dynagroove was one of the stupidest things ever done. Yes, I love all my Command records from 35mm tape and the Phase 4 are really good but a few of my Dynagrooves stand supreme in fidelity. Imagine, someone smart enough to take into consideration vinyls flaws and overcome them only to have some snotty audiophile claim, “ooh, you messed with the sound. I need my mommie equipment. Boo Hoo.” The height of lunacy? Yes, methinks so.

Hi Robert, Thank you for posting about this -- I had not heard of Shure's May 1st announcement. Yes, it is surprising, given the amazing come-back of vinyl records, which has lasted over a decade now. The discontinuation of Shure's production is effective this summer. I still have a brand-new V15 Type V salted away, from when they had to discontinue that series due to beryllium fear. Looks like I'll need to stock an M97 or two now. While perennially, there have been higher priced alternatives to Shure cartridges, their line has always included near state of the art, yet rationally-priced products. Sad day indeed.

This week Shure announced that it was discontinuing the manufacture of phonograph cartridges. I was quite surprised at this move, considering the resurgence in vinyl records and phonographs.
