The Clever Little Sharp
On the site for the clever little money maker model, which the OP also posts, they state that the clock does NOT have any effect on the sound produced (or something to that effect). So, the only real explanation for a perceived difference is calle...

I have access to an SME. Someone please send to me a Mechanic such that I can provide a second opinion (same or different) in this comparison. ;-) 
Help Viridian will a Denon 103 work in a Rega arm
..Of course, said in another way.... ;-)I've heard of folks tracking theirs heavier, too, but that decidedly wasn't what worked in our expereince with an Origin Live Silver. The 250, 300, etc. must be different in that regard because I've heard ot... 
Help Viridian will a Denon 103 work in a Rega arm
In this thread and several others on this site, folks prefer the 103 to the 103R so EVERYTHING you've read cannot be in favor of the 103R. :-)Seriously, some will agree, some will disagree. The only way to fnd out is to listen for yourself. Or, if... 
Clever Little Clock - high-end audio insanity?
OMG. For various reasons, not the least of which is a bad back, I have been absent from this site and audiophilia in general for several months. I came to this thread thinking this was all a joke and I needed a laugh. Well, it IS a joke, but in a ... 
Help Viridian will a Denon 103 work in a Rega arm
Marty, I had to go back and look at my old notes because I no longer have a Rega-based arm in my home. My son has one but it is doing the "Jazz Goes to College" tour! :-)Anyway, like Dan, the VTA was of less importance than VTF. We set the VTA jus...

What I'd really like to do is find is a Mission Mechanic and see what the Celebration sounds like on that arm. Just for kicks! :-)

Thanks, Monk. The Vector is not an arm that I'd have considered for the Celebration, to be honest. That is not to say that it does not sound good. It must, or you would not say that it did! Nothing worse than someone who tells you that you're usin...

Marty, one caveat. Unless I also had a Pete Riggle VTA adjuster, or equivalent, I would never own another Rega-based arm. Pains in the hynie, IMHO.David

I used a 103 and 103R in an OL Silver (basically a Rega). Works fine. However, it performed a good deal better using the TWL HI-FI mod as described extensively in other threads, here. Personally, I prefer the plain jane 103 to some of the other va...

Hey there, Spence. On the fly isn't particularly important, though nice. Glad to hear someone piping in, here!

No, no problems, but thanks. I did not take offense to your post.

Feel free to consider Raul the final arbiter on all things Celebration/SME, but my inquiry was not asking singularly about the SME by any means. I am more interested in the variety of arms used. I'm guessing there must be few with experience in th...

NO ONE cares to comment on this, eh?
