I need some turntable guidance

mijostyn I have been following several of your threads on forums concerning turntables and actually based my current purchases on your knowledge and information, eg., SOTA and Kuzma 4 point. I have not decided on a cartridge as yet though. However, having just read your last comment I am a bit worried now over your explanation of brain-behavior relationships; to wit, whether you are right or left hand the speech areas including Wernicke is found in the left temporal lobe even thought many other abilities are found on opposite sides of the brain, ie., motor and sensory functions. Perhaps you should stay within your lane instead of having to be the smartest in the room...after all you did pride yourself on knowing your weaknesses BOOM, but your advice on the turntable and arm will hopefully be spot on.

mijostyn, very very rare for a right hemisphere Wernicke's aphasia and of course there are cases of mixed dominance that spread unilateral functions in unexpected ways. However, you did IMHO state a tutorial about sound as clearly in all cases right-left desiccation for language centers...not in my clinical experience. Having said that I am excited about getting my SOTA and Kuzma; I will check into the Windfeld Ti so thank you once again. I have really no knowledge of the Linn, but I am impressed with the recent upgrades at SOTA, ie., motor changes and added aircraft aluminum underpinning; and even though my platform is way solid...it doesn't hurt to have a suspension system! My system is all ARC and Vandersteen 5As, so any other ideas about cartridges would be greatly appreciated. With all respect our brains no matter how they are individually organized are the most amazing part of any audiophile's system!! 

mijostyn...I take your point, well done! Meanwhile, the doctor told the patient: I have bad news for you...you have cancer AND Alzheimer's. Patient to doctor: thank heavens I don't have cancer. The great beauty of music is that it keeps us in the NOW, so no memory issue that matters. Thanks for all your help in getting my system together, mucho gracios, and always nice dialoguing with a fellow brainiac. jmw759
