The heavy platter in combination with very low friction imparts a stability on its own, very little correction is needed.I still use the Road Runner for calibratio... | |

Tried several arms, including a Forsell linear air bearing arm, it never sounded really good. I gave up on analog for many years and embraced t... | |
