Which arms share the Rega Geometry?
Audiomods arms are really amazing, they take the Rega arm and do wonders ... Audiomods new series have nothing Rega about them, now, other than perhaps geometry. They no longer use the rega arm and Jeff has introduced his own carbon fibre wand.... 
One turntable with two arms, or two turntables with one each - which would you prefer?
  "With a suspended deck its really not possible to run two arms on it."   Actually it is.  Many of us run two arms on our Michell Gyro and Orbe SE's...   "Very difficult to work with,"   I find Panzerholz very easy to work with. Shar... 
Why don't we tire of music?
A book your reading someone elses story with effort through purposeful information and back story imbedded. It consumes greater time and like life has longer periods of less excitement. Music is easily transformative to sharing that emotion and o... 
Tubes and GAIN on Cary Rom-808

What's with all the new colored vinyl?
@aewarren   I also have a dozen or so "clear" vinyl records. I believe the process is not simply removing the carbon black but requires a replacement compound to obtain that clarity. The translucency is quite often a telling of the quality of th... 
What's with all the new colored vinyl?
Other than the clarity vinyl that is a translucent milky white, all vinyl is colored, all. If the vinyl used is high quality (virgin) and the quality control is high its all relative. Not to dismiss that in some instances it has been used as shi... 
SME is selling tonearms again!
I would take one of Jeff's Audiomods series six arms at less than half the cheapest SME arm listed above, all day ... any day. Especially an arm that can play right along side the SME series IV and V arms . I personally can't  justify the pricing ...

Could this be true, or am I getting the run around.?
Static can on certain tables switch the speed on some tables supplied with a speed switch (circuit) to inadvertently change to either 33 or 45. Michell had one  power supply with a speed switch not just a belt / pulley to change speeds. Saw it on...
