There is no such a thing as reverse motor, unless you invented one. If everyone understood the nature of a cartridge and related problem solving, there would be no such discussion. Your definitions of cartridge's motor make no sense at all and lea...

Definition of motor: Device that converts electrical or other energy into mechanical energy or imparts motion. The advisers that talk about motor inside a cartridge have no idea what is it all about.   The cartridge (in your case MC type) is v...

New Look for Audiogon hard to work with
The site is hard to browse now. When you search category before, you got the list and was able to look through in seconds. Now the picture(especially inside the Vignette circle) requires to focus on each single image just to understand what is it.... 
Grading phono cartridges Part 2.
