Uni-Protractor Set tonearm alignment
Dear Raul, dear all, thank you very much indeed for your kind comments and support. The 1st production run of 25 units has started yesterday. Cheers,D. 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Dear T_bone, the opportunity to get any extra template(s) is a standing option for owners/users of the UNI-Pro to adapt to new tonearms they may add later to their collection. Each Mint is made for a specific tonearm - I can hardly be blamed for o...

Dear Lewm, too bad we won't be able to even test that prospective added benefit regarding water skiing - there is no water-skiing allowed on Lake Ammersee due to wildlife-reserve status (many rare birds here ..;-) ... ) and protected shore-side.So...

Dear Thuchan, the Apolyt will be spinning its 88 lbs platter started by idler wheel drive and kept on speed by tangential thread - force free bearing - this summer in Hamburg, Oberstdorf and near the shore of Lake Ammersee. At least we will all se...

Dear Henry, if you want this thread to soon get out of hand, the best way is to encourage the idler-, belt- and direct-drive "camps" to start a discussion about what is the "best" drive system for turntables ..... This is a minefield full of perso...

Dear Henry, sorry to say, but the new version will rather be the "big brother"..... in all respects ;-( .....Cheers,D.

Dear Henry, yes, Korton's sculptures are sharing - although separate .. - a plinth in the platform they are standing on.BTW - there were turntable designers contributing to this thread.It is just that their statements weren't really to the liking ... 
LOMC carts that like to be loaded at 500R
THere are of course some exceptions with MCs with lower output and still pretty high source impedance. The Denon 103R is such an example of current production with its up to 40 Ohms source impedance. It will work nicely with 500R primary on the SU... 
LOMC carts that like to be loaded at 500R
Hi Inburrito, look out for MC with an output voltage of about 0.6-0.85 mV. They will like a matching impedance of about 500R. The suitable source impedance is a result of resistance due to more wire ( and its diameter ) on the MC's coil - resultin...

Dear Halcro, T_bone and Atmasphere only seem to postulate opposite positions. Whether you actually mount with screws or with spikes and high weight can result in the very same. So your spikes are actually VERY tight a coupling to the platform (eve...

Dear Halcro, yes - it is on your front page, but not on the "Audiogon forum analog"-page. Means that one indeed has to search for your thread - it can't be find among the current other threads in analog.Very strange indeed. 
A Copernican View of the Turntable System
T_bone is absolutely right - any damping (pneumatic, oil-based, elastomer - whatever) will only reach its optimum read: lowest possible) resonance frequency and spec behavior at its maximum load. So here for once any over-compensation regarding pa... 
A Copernican View of the Turntable System
I agree totally with Atmasphere - there is always a "plinth" ( in the sense of a common ground for bearing and armpod/armbase/armboard ), even if it is not always apparent as such ...;-) .... so, - sorry to burst some bubbles here - it is never re... 
Tonearm choices
Dear Grubscrew, you see - two answers and both show once more, that certain manufacturers and their supporters are much more "remote" Graham.Personally I strongly advice to give each of the prospective candidates a listen over a few days with your... 
A Copernican View of the Turntable System
Dear Thuchan, I agree with you. There is absolutely no objection from my side against personal taste or preferences. I have mine too ...;-) ... That is as long as they stay what they are - personal tastes and preferences.But if "leaders" or "gurus...
