| McIntosh MT-10 Turntable -- thoughts/expectations The "speed meter". I suppose it looks cool, but if you read the turntable manual, you will find that you can't adjust the speed without a "special test record" and a technician.They don't give you any specs for the tonearm- no geometry or tonearm ... | |
| McIntosh MT-10 Turntable -- thoughts/expectations If you go to the Clearaudion website, it looks like the MT-10 is a modified Avantguarde Magnum. They use the same platter. The Mac plinth is different, being of different materials with the motor housed in the assembly.Also the MT-10 cartridge has... | |
| Are the Nitty Gritty vacuum cleaners... I have a Nitty Gritty. But I prefer to wet clean by hand with the MFSL brush and fluid. Then I just use the Nitty Gritty to vacuum the wet records. This produces better results for me. Have never used any other machines, so cannot comment on them. | |

| 12 inch tonearms Raul, I am using a Micro-Benz Ruby 3 cartridge.Berlinta's post is most informative. Don't think I would have the capability to get a 12 inch properly set up. I guess there are those who can. | |
| 12 inch tonearms Thom, Makes good sense to me- easier to keep the cartridge in line at 9 inches than 12. Mostly the quest is based on curiosity and variety. Does this mean that most of the nine inch arms can't do it as well as 9 inch or that, under the Schroeder t... | |
| 12 inch tonearms Thank you for the informative responses. The deal is this: I have an Avid Diva, which can accomodate 2 arms. Already have a 9 inch Origin Encounter.Since this is all about having fun, I thought about adding a 12 inch arm and started doing a little... |
