TRAVELING TO JAPAN! Recommendations for shops for cartridges?
it is also necessary to evaluate the price ratio in the country of origin/and price in the country of residence. When years ago I went to the USA for some time I had brought with me a list of cartridges with the costs in my country; arrived in N.Y... 
A fine realization
Thanks all, I'll try to investigate.  
A fine realization
For which turntables are sph bearings available and who is the seller? Is it possible to have a link? Thank you  
Vintage Gyrodec TT power supply question
the power supply is found.... if the Gyro has the Papst motor in AC you have three possibilities: 1) look for the original power supply which is like a mobile phone power supply is the bare minimum 2)  look for the most advanced and optimal... 
Did I do a good thing or not?
A Denon 309 arm would also be a good choice.   Strange, I was convinced it was a high mass arm more suitable for the Denon 103 or hard cartridges          
Gale GT 2101 questions
What kind of contemptuous answer is this? I might as well have it in my collection and give you some info but for the rude reply you don't deserve any help at this point.

What Does It Take To Surpass A SME V?
    Likewise, the phono cable stays the same, Kimber KCAG soldered to the DIN plug to the arm (a bit tricky).    What?!!  How is it possible to use the KCAG which is not shielded and have much hum? Many claims have been read and heard that t... 
If I could afford, I’d purchase 100% Oswald Mills Audio gear
  Beauty lies in the eye of the beholder. I on the other hand, would avoid OMA gear - tons of better stuff out there at a lesser price. Way overpriced.   I totally agree, lots of snake oil.    
What Does It Take To Surpass A SME V?
Given that both arm tubes are cast, requiring moulds to be developed, SME must have had the arm in development before the RB300 was released. Exactly The magnesium arms were made raw on behalf of SME to a specialized company in Chicago, magnes... 
What Does It Take To Surpass A SME V?
@pindac Never written that Linn didn’t have an Ariston design, Linn started with Ariston turntables design; do you have a reliable source (magazine or other) to prove that the RB 300 was already produced in 1983?  
What Does It Take To Surpass A SME V?
As said in previous Posts, if it weren’t for the Rega Design being so successful and sought after, there would most likely not be a SME IV, V, 309, along with a host of others that poached the Rega Geometry and Design. Sorry to contradict you b... 
What Does It Take To Surpass A SME V?
I haven’t read the whole 3ad but if it hasn’t been indicated yet I would say look at the Audiomods production as well. Several owners indicate not to use the silicone damper of the SmeV, to proceed with an internal rewiring with pure silver wiring... 
One turntable with two arms, or two turntables with one each - which would you prefer?
@pindac I have original CL-P3D plinth that I would like to use; in the future I will always have time to use diy plinths for the other Victor TT's I own that have remained on standby for the little time I have to dedicate to them.  
One turntable with two arms, or two turntables with one each - which would you prefer?
It depends a lot on the space available, I have several chains and turntables both with two arms and turntables with one arm, now I am preparing a plinth for the 3-arm victor TT 801. For phono preamps I prefer phono preamps with multiple inputs.
