Turntables That Can Accommodate Longer Tonearms
For longer tonearm you need bigger plinth, look hereWhat plinth do you have for your SP-25? Change the plinth, not turntable. You can completely remove the dustcover. This is SP-25 with "12inch Jelco for example.  
Do you stop the turntable or let it spin while you run e record brush
Are you kidding ? You can’t damage the motor using a brush! Even if you put heavyweight disc stabilizer and mat on top you can’t damage DD motor. Your brush in NOTHING for this direct drive motor. Low torque or high torque - you can’t stop the mot... 
Calling all Sota fans.
You both have it exactly right. In order to get significantly better performance than a Cosmos Eclipse Vacuum you have to spend $72,000 on a Dohmann Helix and Schroder LT tonearm. This is the next step for me if the money becomes available. It'...

@pryso the simplest SH-10B2 on this site (there are many more) FYI, the Fidelis Analog chip set is a replacement in the SP-15 as well as the SP-10 Mk 3. Good to know, I asked JP about chip for mk2 (just for backup) and the answer was that they ar...

The only "irreplaceable" part is the single IC, MN6042. JP Jones has developed a replacement part for the MN6042, built from discrete SMD components. So there is nothing to fear in terms of parts. His business is called "Fidelis Analog", and you c...

People always overestimate everything on audiogon, it's ridiculous.As stated earlier in this thread the SP-10 mkII is a broadcast machine, you will not find any "special" sub plinth or "wall mount shelfs" at those broadcast studios. This is a typi...

A bit off topic, but looking at JP site now I finally noticed his short article about Technics SP-10R vs. SP-10 mk III - check this out.

Here is mine, never serviced, like new, no problem for over 10 years. The plinth was $700 with international shipping.** If you need service use Fidelis Analog

What high end cartridge matches best with the Wheaton Triplanar tonearm?
Shelter (5000 or 9000) and Phasemation (PP-300 or PP-500) LOMC cartridges are very interesting.
