A Copernican View of the Turntable System
Dertonarm,I sometimes wonder if physics isn't a little like a guess who always arrives late to the party! For example, different materials and weights of headshells on different tonearms create very noticeable differences in performance of differe...

Ecir38 (10-12-11),You could try Equarack or the AT616 that many of us (well, at least 'some' of us) are using.Good luckAs always 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Matt,My pleasure.As always 
Glanz moving magnet cartridges
Apologies,However, following off-line correspondence, I hasten to clarify that the Glanz is NOT of the quality of my Technics EPC 100Mk4. There again, nothing I have heard is.What it is is a better performer than most well respected cartridges 'an... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Hi Raul,I intend to follow your path and have the suspension on the best of my other vintage MM/MI cartridges addressed when I can afford to. The difference I've heard with the Technics speaks for itself.As always

Ecir38,Thanks for those photo's. I tried something very similar with my Mambo but ended up trying a slightly different solution with the full arm tower attachment to gain weight. I'm not really certain why he didn't simply stick with the Acoustic ... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Hi Raul,On the Technics 100Mk4 and its suspension, when Alex mended mine (as I possibly clumsily tried to explain on this thread) I definitely noticed an improvement. And an improvement at this level of performance is no mean feat.Just to affirm y... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Hi Raul,Thanks very much for raising awareness around the Clearaudio and for posting Jwglista's comments:"In the end, I chose to drop back to the standard aluminum cantilever with elliptical stylus... Upon remounting the new rebuild, I immediately... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Hi Nandric,I have real faith in Alex (at least regarding rebuilding Technics EPC 100Mk4's). It would be great to hear how he does with your Clearaudio and I think you're right in leaving it to his own judgement.I look forward to hearing and good l...

Hi Griffithds,"I spent a full day swapping 2 Graham arm wands each one loaded with 1, a stock Red Virtuoso, and 2, the Black Virtuoso. The Voiceing of the 2 are very, very close to each other. Only the going back and forth, back and forth, can I e... 
Glanz moving magnet cartridges
Hi All,Just spent an enforced length of time re-aquainting myself with my Glanz's. I can only reaffirm my claim that the G5 is a very superior cartridge and I would desperately urge anyone who has the opportunity to grab it. I am aware that they r... 
A Copernican View of the Turntable System
Halcro,I'm not sure if his argument about the sole role of the tt (by which he champions the Sirius III) does actually move it into the 'software' domain. Anyway, not to claim that Moncrief had any axe to grind but respected former Rockport owners... 
Review: Clearaudio Virtuoso Wood Cartridge
Hi Griffithds,I believe you were going to do a comparison between your Virtuoso's (unmodified red wood and modified ebony). The retailers and manufacturers are adamant that there is no performance difference between the red and black wood versions...

Dertonarm,"No Audiogoner with any experiences in his/her home set-up?"To have tried it, I would have had to sell my home and live in the tt.The wife's not likely to accept that option!As always
