Well been listening today to a test tape.The Goldring has a lot more life. The Shure is good I guess. Sounds dull. I wouldn't have known that unless I had a chance to hear the Goldring 2400. There is a big difference. Will know more in a bit. I go back to the 10. Long pause in between music. Man I must have goofed somehow. LOL HMMMM wonder how that could happen?
