Can Music Reference MR9 drive Tannoy DMT 215 II
I use my RM9 with excellent results on all my speakers. Everything from B&W 801's to Quad 57's(very carefully)The Acoustats and ET speakers are the hardest loads but no problem at all. All on 4 ohm tap. Cheers 
What's your SDS setting?
Wntrmute2Oddly enough 58.79 Hz gives me perfect speed with a KAB strobe on my TNT. Weird huh? My old TNT was very close to this setting as well. And around 64.50 if I remember with silk thread, dental floss and fishing line. FWIW - if bypassing th...

Hi Geoch – You are always candid, honest and passionate based on your personal experiences/observations. I can appreciate that. We are all big boys here. But let me be candid and honest too. My personal detailed TT impressions are on my page howe...

Thx Geoch for seeing my email :^) and providing input. With an air bearing arm like the ET2 my personal experience has told me that 1) Arm/Table Design and 2)Execution, are of equal importance. I have and do run low and high compliance / VTF cartr...

Dover Ct0517 - I would not run an ET downhill, but I get the overhang argument.Dover – oh I get it. But I will also admit I have never experimented with making the ET2 armtube go past or stop short of the target point. I did not feel a need to bec...

DgarretsonI wonder if this is about adding a small and constant skating force to help propel the carriage toward the spindle in a more controlled manner. Similarly, when leveling the carriage, optimal set-up may call for a very slight tilt of the ...

Cheers Nikola Your willingness to lend me your ET2 is moving but you ruined my argument 'against' Frogman. The reight response should be : nobody has the right to DEMAND anything without ,uh, some legal fundation.I realize that as you are a lawyer...

I thought this would be of interest regarding power hits and LP playing. We have been enduring the hottest summer I can remember. There have been a few power hits due to demand and storms. We had a power hit on a beautiful but very hot day this pa... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Nikola, ok you make a good case for the Dutch influence. Even in Canada growing up the term “Lets go Dutch” was very popular and meant different things. As young men in a group about to wreak havoc upon our town, saying Lets go Dutch protected us ... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Well, I blame it on the Sliwowitz. That Serbian brandy of his can make crazy things happen to you. Nikola - I read here that you sent a bottle to Axel in Germany. I hope Axel is long finished the bottle before he gets to my cartridge. I want a str... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
"Dear David, it may be the case that 'immobilising' also means that one self is 'glued' to such a cart in the sense that resell become very difficult."LOL Nikola. Always thinking about money just like a good lawyer that you are. May I ask which ca... 
Why does your turntable sound the way it does.
"But what is it that causes a turntable to sound the way it does"Spend time studying the parts you can't see. Too many people buy a car and don't lift up the hood to look inside. This is a business like everything else. When money is put into a TT... 
Moving VPI TNT, Wheaton Triplanar, Transfiguration
An additional tip that helped me alot for setup later. This has to be done before you move it but it made set up at the new spot less frustrating. The TNT has a large footprint and the detachable legs make actual relocation of the legs difficult I...
