Tonearm mount to the plinth vs arm board vs rotating arm board vs isolated tower
ct0517and GKNot sure what question or answer you are referring to, or if it was even directed to me. I was replying solely to Nikola’s post. I will say however. Blessed is the Audiophile that finds Audio Nirvana on a budget. Kind of like you and y...
