Raul,Thanks. I'll look into a digital option. 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Hi Raul,Thanks for that. I'm now wondering if this could probably also have implications for setting the overhang on my Glanz cartridges, which would seem to be in a similar predicament to those set in the discussed AT headshells!? I will definite...

Raul,Thanks for the warning. I did spend an inordinate amount of time ensuring that both armtower/arm and tt were levelled exactly the same, within the limitations of the small spirit level that I use for this purpose. If I can find an even more a...

Banquo363,Sorry, just to add on the 1982 preferance, you get much more playing time to enjoy on his later and much slower rendition and I think the fact that I simply adore the music makes this a plus (not to mention that the more time plus better...

Banquo363,Thanks very much. Yes, I've placed the power supply on the Symposium precision couplers and sat that on the Symposium svelte platform - which sits on the birch shelf. These viscoelastic platforms still work effectively under electronics ...

Dear Nandric,Thank you. I think!Just by way of clarification around my listening, there are notes on the recordings that I have suggested above. As I say, they are worth having in their own right:Review of Prokofiev’s Romeo and Juliet complete bal... 
A Copernican View of the Turntable System
Hi All,So I've suggested my being impressed by the changes that I have achieved in moving to a naked Technics SP10 Mk2 with a decoupled, stand-alone arm tower. Yet I started to wonder what precisely constituted this "better". Well, in a ham-fisted...

Downunder,I'm using a modified Mark Levinson 32.5 to great effect. When it comes to what I believe is called 'bang for the buck', it is unbelievable. Quietness, in comparison with various models of tube amplification that I h ave previously owned,...

Raul,I've had problems with attaining the correct overhang when trying the AT headshell on my AC3300 LB (same on my Grace G-660P and Ikeda IT-407). None of the four holes seem to bring me closer than 2mm from the ideal overhang. Can you advise?Thanks

Henry,I know what you mean about the Barenboim. Have you tried the Gould (1981) recording of the Goldberg Variations? Also sublime and part of a response (along with reference to Milstein's (1975) recording of the Partita's) that I'm considering m...

Halcro,Please feed back on the performance of the Yamamoto once you've fully familiarised yourself with it. I have always avoided wooden headshells (and equipment in general) due to fears about potential natural and climate induced anomalies.

Timeltel,"There are those who would presume to ignore Kant's position". Without a doubt true and Kant would maintain that these presumptions hold no sway as universal - his Groundwork clearly set against such presumptions. 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Timeltel,Sorry to place my own uncertainties here but I feel that a statement such as: "universal claims can 'never' be verified" would form a starting point for the exploration that Kant develops across the three Critiques and associated writings...

Timeltel,Does your interpretation of the categorical imperative (vis, Totalitarianism) hold and, if so, how does that sit with its role in Kant's critique of the Wolffians?I would imagine that that form of political atemporal rationalism is rather...

Hi Hiho (enter elves stage right!),I think you can find it here: http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?eanlg&1200430667&openmine&zzDgob&4&5#DgobI have only seen it but am pleased to hear you suspect that it is 'revolutionary'...
