Halcro, It would really be interesting to see how long my TT maintains the correct speed. Unfortunately I don´t have the devices mentioned available and am not planning to purchase them in near future. Furthermore, I´m not running the Salvation mo... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?

Halcro has just proved empirically the superiority of his Victors. His videos with 3 TAs in action at the same/different time is the most beautiful I´ve seen in hi-fi forums so far. Poetry in high fidelity turntables, and that´s pretty extraordina...
