| Who needs a Diamond Cantilever...? 💍 I've heard Sony XL-55 with Boron cantilever and did not like it at all.Neither the Sony XL-55 nor XL-88 (in standard form) had Boron cantilevers. | |

| Stylus-Drag..Fact or Fiction? Non-compliant or very low compliance belt and placing the motor drive as close as possible to the circumference of the platter are the best ways to minimize belt creep. There is no evidence that 'belt-creep' is responsible for 'Stylus Drag'.A comp... | |
| Stylus-Drag..Fact or Fiction? My Ariston and Linn TT's don't suffer from stylus drag.Indeed they do....🤗Words, opinions and 'hope' aren't going to cut it on this Thread....Only a Youtube Video with Timeline and multiple cartridges (as above) or the multiple raising and lowerin... | |

Came across this Post by another Contributor in the past:- Don't get me wrong, I totally do not underestimate the importance of the speed control architecture.

Well done Uber,I'm sure you won't regret this decision 👍You may want to replace the capacitors in due course and you should of course, replace the original rubber mat with one of your own choice.The best sounding mat for the Victors I've found to ... | |
