| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Audie, I always tried to remain calm when in a discussion with Raul, but you would have to admit, or you should admit, that it was Raul himself who was often the provocateur. To disagree with him is to admit that you must have an inferior system. ... | |

| NEED: Technics SP10 Mk3 Speed Controller Contact Bill Thalmann at Music Technologies in Springfield, VA. He may be able to help. (I have no affiliation with Bill, but he has done work for me in the past.) | |
| Direct drive vs belt vs rim vs idler arm A close friend who lives in France has a Platine Verdier which he just recently replaced with one of the new Kronos turntables, the belt drive with a counter-rotating platter underneath the top platter. He put his Verdier up for sale immediately u... | |
| Power Filtering vs Power Regeneration? Pani, A passive device simply cannot solve Halcro's problem, if the problem has to do with AC power sags or surges. End of story.Halcro, If you search on eBay you may find an inexpensive chart recorder that can be used to monitor AC at the wall so... | |
| Direct drive vs belt vs rim vs idler arm Peter, I can have no opinion of your SME, because I have never even seen one in the flesh. By all accounts, it is excellent.Fleib, I was saying that the modern SOTA tables (e.g., Cosmos and Millennium) no longer suffer from the sin you and I descr... | |

| Direct drive vs belt vs rim vs idler arm Dover, While it's true that both the L07D and the Mk3 have heavy-ish platters compared to most DD turntables (the Mk3 having the heaviest platter I know of among all DDs), the two turntables are otherwise about as dissimilar in design philosophy a... | |
| mono cartridge vs stereo If our modern day audio press were interested in education, a la the dear departed Audio Magazine, they would run an article explaining "mono" cartridges and the technical differences between vintage mono and modern mono recordings. But they're in... | |
| mono cartridge vs stereo Gondo, A mono phono stage adds yet another layer of complication, in terms of decision making. First, why use a mono phono stage if your "mono" cartridge is naught but a stereo cartridge that is internally strapped to produce a mono signal? In tha... | |
| Audio Research VT100 MKll Stays on I hope the grammarians have not frightened off the OP. Would like to know more about his problem or at least the answers to my questions. His English is actually just fine, although lacking in punctuation, as someone else remarked. |
