| Why According to some Turntable extremists Pitch Control and Direct Drive is Sacrilege? I have two Luxman PD-444 and it does not sound "digital" at all, my first Luxman with vintage japanese tonearms replaced by Technics SP-10 mkII with modern Reed 3p. I remember i’ve been using them together (technics and luxman) in the same system.... | |
| Plinth ideas for DENON PD-80 DD turntable Thanks @bima I hope it will help our readers and users of DP-80My unit was NOS, probably unused, i only did the correction of the spindle position by unscrewing 4 bolts from the bottom and tightening them again after checking the position of the p... | |

| Who Has the New Top Technics SL1200GRE? Does it blow your other expensive tables away? I will keep my ZU cartridge mounted on the Technics headshell as a spare. Your low compliance ZU Denon 103 must be on the heaviest possible headshell ever. Technics headshell designed for mid and high compliance cartridges, it's a lighweight hea... | |

| Budget cartridge for SOTA Moonbeam TT. The puller does not come with the stylus, but maybe depends on the model of the stylus. The puller comes with the cartridge. Actually if the stylus sits so tightly it is a benefit for the sound quality | |

| ZYX Optimum phono cartridge - a defining statement @don_c55 Why is the ZYX UNIverse line exclusive to SoraSound?Because he’s the one and only US distributor of ZYX, the rest of the dealers are official re-sellers.Why are the UNIverse ZYX cartridges never listed on the official ZYX website?Some mo... | |
| ZYX Optimum phono cartridge - a defining statement I thought the empty box is a signature of grey market import.You can't receive an empty box from Mehran at SoraSound.His service is top notch, no doubt.The only problem is marketing strategy. The gap between $5k and $17k is huge, but it's not nece... | |
