A Copernican View of the Turntable System
T_bone,Meow,"Some pod implementations have different isolation systems under the pod and the table, which makes for a different arm-bearing-to-table-bearing interaction, and this is something I would suggest against. In the end, it all comes down ...

Ct0517,It would seem that our experiences defy the theory. As a certain phiilosopher once said, in that case, the theory needs revision/refinement.An old Chinese saying: black cat or white cat, the right cat catches the mouse!

Lewm,Thanks and its machinability and aesthetics are key reasons why I am considering using brass for my arm towers. This will be important as I intend to do all the work myself. The other reasons are its price relative to bronze, its decent mass ...

Review: Clearaudio Virtuoso Wood Cartridge
Hi Griffithds,I think people refer to Raul's later version as the Mk2, in various forums. Now you have kindly clarified the dates and differences and I am thankful to you for this.

Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?

Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Hi Chris [Ct0517],Thank you for sharing my joy. I am truly happy again and am sure others will be too. Axel offers a service that some of the most notable of cartridge repairers have admitted they cannot. My repaired Technics has 'never' performed...
