SAT 30K+$$ TONEARM: W O R T H T O H A V E I T ?
@lbelchev Excellent! There is nothing more that needs to be written than your post of quotations.  
Ayre C-5XE MP, Simaudio Moon Andromeda, or Esoteric K-01X
Something you may also want to consider is excellent separates. I have been using an Esoteric K-03x in both a speaker system and a headphones system. I decided to try a DENAFRIPS Terminator DAC and I found its SQ to exceed that of the DAC in the K... 
disc player upgrade bug: Esoteric vs EMM vs PS Audio
I had an EMM CDSD and replaced it with a Marantz sa-7s1 which I used as a transport and found superior.  I replaced the Marantz with an Esoteric K-03x again used as a transport. And this year I took a punt and bought a Jay's Audio CDT-3. This Chin... 
Arche headshell with London Reference cartridge - fantastic results
Thanks for the nice write-up howardalex. I use a FR-7f 6 digit with its integrated headshell in my FR64s, but if I ever need a headshell the Arche would be it. 
Best Record You Have Ever heard
It is impossible for me to pick one best record but I am going to go with one that I have enjoyed consistently for the longest period of time, both musically and sonically. I bought the disc new when it was released in 1979.Rickie Lee Jones' self-...

To the Great Cabal, do everyone here a favour and follow your own advice!!! @fleib  “Not sure why I'm wasting time here.”  @rauliruegas  “Dear @fleib : As you stated: don't lost your time.”  We will survive so so well without two people who ... 
The Palladian-A step beyond
Hi @halcro , I have also made this upgrade and it surprised me how much difference it made. But maybe it should not have given the effects unwanted vibrations not properly dealt with can have at this critical point. I also have been told, "second ... 
The Palladian-A step beyond
There is no point responding to the Cabal of @rauliruegas and @fleib .They are uncovered for what they are: bitter, sad and malicious people of the narrowest of minds. The following Zen story is apt:Merchant: Master, I would like you to teach me Z...

@fleib , Firstly, please accept my apologies for trying to be friendly. It is evidently something beyond you at this stage of your human development. My mistake. Hopefully friendliness will develop in you later.So you are arguing over the cartridg... 
AFI FLAT Record Flatener
@whart , A friend helped me to get a unit on loan as I had some warped records. All I initially intended to do was try and take those warps out, and then return the unit. I had it for 2 months. I have since placed an order and will get mine in Ja...

@fleib ,  Despite any history you might have with Dertonarm AKA Dietrich Brakemeier, I think this cart should be judged on its merits. You might have a hard time convincing Acoustical Systems cartridge owners that their ears are deceiving them... 
The Palladian-A step beyond
@folkfreak, I found that there was a significant change in the Palladian's sound after the first 10 hours or so of playing, all very positive. I would not have been happy with that initial sound compared to my run-in Aiwon. If you see promise imme... 
AFI FLAT Record Flatener
Thanks @slaw for your comments. Reading between your lines I surmise that you do not think that there would be a sonic difference.  Thanks for putting this in a diplomatic way.  It is a refreshing change to a response I received to a recent post I...

Sad, very sad. This forum should be about the performance of products.  It should not be about trying to discredit inanimate products based on a forum member's prejudice against the animate creator and anyone who has the audacity to honestly extol...
