Jonathan Tinn should be declaring his interest as a manufacturer when passing comment on turntable performance. Reading his profile and system it is clear he makes subjective comments on competing products performance without declaring his interest.
By contrast J Carr when commenting on cartridges restricts himself to design aspects and does not tend to make comment on overall performance.
My advice to you all is to ignore JTinn comments as it is biased and certainly I wouldn't take advice from one who designs turntables that cannot be transported without damaging the main bearing and goes on to present a faulty turntable as a state of the art product as he did with the NVS.
