| SME III Tonearm: Classic or Dinosaur? The III was the one designed for lowest mass and lowest traking force, not the IV. OTOH, it used with the very high compliance, very low mass cartridges that IT WAS DESIGNED FOR (and not most MC designs), it is excellent. | |
| McCormack DNA2 Deluxe vs Sim Aud Moon W5 OK. It's nice that so many people love their DNA-2 amps but, until someone does a side-by-side comparison with the W-5, all the comments can not answer the original query.Yes, McCormack service is quick and attentive but so is SimAudio service. My... | |

| I need TT Help: Please advise The Planar 9 is a fine TT. What arm is it? Rega has notused an s-shaped arm in over a decade. See about replacing the arm. | |
| DNA-1 SMc A/B mods: More laid back? It will be ever-so-slightly more laid back but the other enhancements are worth it. |
