Thom -I agree with your comments. As well I find it interesting that the higher up the ladder you go on a TT manufacturers line - the platter becomes heavier, whether we are talking about new tables, or restoring vintage ones. My Jean Nantais Lenc...

What is more accurate: magnetic anti-skating, or barrel weight attached a fishline?
@Raul no. not together. They represent two options for running. I am just up north fishing. I will answer your question in more detail on my virtual system thread. The cool lake environment is keeping me from wanting to go home where it is 35 degr...

regarding the 30 min operation warning on the Medo. The pump has heat sinks much like a Solid State Class A/B amp.  It does get hot quickly. A small computer fan placed next to it alleviates this limitation. It can be run for hours and never gets ...
