| Turntable upgrade recommendations: SME vs AMG vs Technics vs other To begin with, I rarely if ever listen to "popular music" from the 60s, 70s, and 80s on my audio systems, with the prominent exception of the Beatles and some others. But I do know what you are talking about due to my brief forays into that genre.... | |

| Stacking mats on Technics SP-10R Sorry, I don’t get why you need to stack mats in order to correct for eccentric 78s. And most of us wouldn’t know what mat sounds best with old 78s, which I assume could be shellac. For vinyl, I definitely would not recommend the original SP10 mat... | |

| New Transrotor TRA9 tonearm coming soon Possibly MD didn’t have time in the lead up to publication to delete the SME V from their catalog. The SME announcement was fairly recent. | |
| New Transrotor TRA9 tonearm coming soon It obviously does have the DNA of an SME V, and now I realize why Transrotor had to develop it, since SME is no longer marketing their tonearms as separate from their turntables. At first blush, I would guess SME makes it for Transrotor, or at le... | |
| Turntable upgrade recommendations: SME vs AMG vs Technics vs other You could use a lightweight clamp (not a "weight" per se) on a Rega, without violating the gospel according to Gandy. | |

| New Transrotor TRA9 tonearm coming soon I’m sure you did careful research before making your purchase. Can you say something about how you arrived at the decision, which is to ask what design elements or features appeal to you? | |
| Turntable upgrade recommendations: SME vs AMG vs Technics vs other Edgewear, Your list of cartridges you've owned is pretty close to my list of cartridges I would like to hear.
