Read most of this and have a question. Back in the "old days" there were controversies regarding detachable heads and fixed heads. The Shure (SME) 3009 had detachable heads and others had fixed heads.
I remember many articles that preferred the fixed heads for many reasons. (The detachable ones were much easier when changing cartridges, as I remember!) Has this changed with today's arms?
Back then, Linn Sondek had the better belt-drive tables and Technics came out with direct drive and everyone was crazy over that technology for a while.
Since I still have both types of tables from back then, I was wondering what today's world finds most accurate in drive types for tables, and which arms are considered to be the most accurate (fixed vs detachable)?
Cheers!
