803Nautilus or 802 MAtrix Series 3 ?
Mati1979B&W did not set prices to match competitor’s prices until the Nautilus. They were underpriced.All 800 series Matrix were priced too low based on the market and their performance. Many times in retail shops whose gear did not befit them... 
EMT 927 vs. Micro Seiki 5000 or 8000 - different?
Nicola - as long as the elephant doesn't see the mouse - otherwise you will have big big problems. All manufacturers of belt drives I have owned and a current TNT with SDS - recommend checking of platter speed with stylus in the groove. Cheers Chris 
A $300-$400 turntable tweak
Suteetat I read Henry's OP to mean if you are using one and have been for a while - try it without and see what happens. Nothing more nothing less. If it works for you great - if not keep on listening - enjoy your music. These rings are available ...

Henry - it must have been a difficult 3 weeks for you wondering where all the music went :( 
Uni-Protractor Set tonearm alignment
Dear D - That Apolyt is quite the platter and those arm pods. :) My extensive testing of the 2.5 showed me that 6-8 working psi is a very safe albeit too LOW psi for the 2.5 to show its stuff. So am not surprised at your earlier remarks.I found th... 
Uni-Protractor Set tonearm alignment
Thx for the quick reply D and clarification on the lack of issues other than pump sources with the ET. I have had no cartridge issues in 5 years and it is my main arm. Is the UNI tangential tool similar to the ET supplied one. I am looking for so... 
Uni-Protractor Set tonearm alignment
Dear Dertonarm. Spring rain kept me from chores so I did some reading on Agon looking to learn. I read through this Uni thread from the start and came across a post you made on March 11 that is puzzling to me. Specifically you said. “the linear t...

A Copernican View of the Turntable System
Dear Lew - I have confirmed what Geoch said in an earlier post - as long as the platform is level - gravity and the extra weight on top allow the bearings to find their spot every time. The more weight the quicker its found. The bottom of the armp... 
A Copernican View of the Turntable System
Dear Nandric - Hard to believe isn't it. Your right it does move like a ship floating in a harbor when you push on it. But with 18.9 lbs of "very well trained" seamen on board all of them pushing down it doesnt move at all when the stylus touches ... 
why is a 13" tonearm design really superior?
Hi Thuchan and Moonglum This is an old article but still I would dearly love to try out and own all of the arms mentioned in the article. Regarding the ET 2.5 It used a stock VPI MK IV which came suspended from VPI. I owned one - a MKIV with an ET...

Henry I just emailed you and some of the others here a short 59 sec video of the Symposium Jr. setup that i did with the video camera on my phone. I hope u get it - it is 16 meg. I will need to do a shorter one. If anyone would like more than a pi...

I wish I had Dertonarm's Uni-Protractor - setting up a pivot arm is so much more work than a linear tracking arm ! 
A Copernican View of the Turntable System
I believe Henry your first post is still very relevant – I added 6 words at the end based on this experiment so far. “The tonearm is now the centre of this ‘Turntable System’ and is the most important element. It must be rigidly held on a base whi...

Symposium Jr Initial Impressions under Armpod Okay – I agreed to be the guinea pig for this and now am glad I did. I say this because I have never tried symposium rollerblocks in the past. We all have various products we use for tweaking - this w...
