| Are Dust Covers a MUST The dust cover creats a resonant cavity. Always try the TT with and without the cover to see which sounds better.Cheerio | |
| Monaco TT with Halcyonics The acoustic energy is not nearly as important as low-frequency structureborne energy that is capable of exciting the resonant frequencies of the tonearm and cartridge, typically in the 8-10 Hz range.~ Cheers | |

| John Lennon, 29 years ago today.... Fortunately, Lennon lived long enough to record the masterpiece, John Jennon/Plastic One Band (1970). | |
