| Are linear tracking arms better than pivoted arms? >>Has anyone compared recent linear and pivot tonearms on a 2-arm TT at the same time w/ the same cartridge for an A/B comparison? What did you notice?<<As I wrote earlier, the Souther Linear Arm was designed to work well with a wide r... | |

| Are linear tracking arms better than pivoted arms? Happy to post some history and perspective, Bob. Now, if this weren't the analog forum, I could say something about picking up H3aa OTL amps from Julius Futterman at his workship in New York in the 1970s.....Phil | |
| Are linear tracking arms better than pivoted arms? In 1980 I met Lou Souther when I was living in Boston and in the last days of working in audio as my living. He was referred to me by Walter Swanbon, who now owns and operates Fidelis, a high-end hifi retailer and importer in New Hampshire. Lou wa... | |

| Any experience with Yeil "Spike Sound Will" feet? The Yeil mag-lev feet are the single best aftermarket improvement to disc players I've heard. Recommended without reservation. Just buy the right load capacity -- you may need to mix load ratings front and rear. Truly, Yeil under CD, DVD, Blu-Ray,... | |
| Why did I get married? This should have been sorted out before you tied the knot.My wife suggested I should spring for a $3,000 tonearm today....or spend a little more.Phil | |
| Isolation platforms: TW Raven, Shindo I recently carved out the better part of a week to try a new wave of coupling/isolation/resonance control options in both my systems, using Aurios as representative of bearings, Herbie's products for the damping camp, BBC large brass cones standin... | |
| Mcintosh MA6500, monitor speaker suggestions. Don't raise the output of the MA6500 by lowering the impedance. Reduce the output. Zu Druid Credenza, 12 ohms. I've heard the combination and it makes the MA6500 sound much closer to the musicality of the iron output MA6900/7000, while still havin... | |
| Direct Drive turntables I don't think an inflation calculator answers the question of what a Luxman PD444 would cost today. Circa 1974 when that turntable was designed, a substantial manufacturing infrastructure and technical coterie existed in Japan for making direct dr... | |

| Can Denon DL103 Cartridge Match RB700 Arm? I have (and still do) use various iterations of the Denon DL103 with Rega arms, with complete success. I have 103s in RB300, RB600 and RB1000. An RB700 is no problem whatsoever.Phil | |
| Zu Druids upgraded Vs Essence Matro,Consider that prototype interesting in form only. I saw it at a Zu field outing here in California. The evolving prototype that becomes a product is already different.Phil | |
| Zu Druids upgraded Vs Essence Afc,High-efficiency speakers -- especially single driver types -- have their peculiarities and some of them are hard to live with. I've never been willing to trade away midrange tonal accuracy to get the palpable dynamic aliveness and holistic pre... |
