Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Nandric, That is "bullshit". Do you think the huge financial concerns that caused the 2008 collapse are either American OR European? They don't. They act only in their own self interest, and they have no nationality whatever. You need to learn mor... 
Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927?
The simple truth is that none of you exist. I am imagining all of this; it's all taking place in my mind, only.AHEE and "distortions" are Raul's indirect way of saying that the only truth is his truth, painfully arrived at. We can all agree that t...

Dear Raul,Better English is "Who was it who..." Who is in the subjective case. "Whom" is the objective form and cannot be the subject of a sentence. I think in Spanish, "quien" is both subjective and objective. Your error is understandable.So, if ...

Sorry if I misunderstood you, or, as Andre' Gide said, Sorry if I "understood you too quickly". Good to know you are concerned about the American economy. It saves me the trouble. I have my own FR64S, by the way, purchased from Switzerland. They d...

Nandric, You are conflating the National Debt with the Balance of Payments. These are two entirely different things. Actually, neither is affected by private sales that cross national boundaries.

Dear Mr Cockrum, We know Nandric longer than we know you. Nandric is irritable, but he is also a very interesting guy. And, he is Serbian. Nandric and we know that Communism is dead. Get over it, and get a sense of humor.Personally, I am reluctant...

FYI. I just Googled "AHEE", and there is no organization bearing that acronym in existence.

So why WILL no other turntable beat the EMT 927?Raul, I have not seen or read anything having anything to do with the "AHEE" in about 30 years. Since you talk about it so often, I am beginning to remember that "HE" stands for "High End", and I thi...

Off-topic to Halcro and Aigenga: My particular TT101 does have an internal jumper so it can be used with 100V, 120V, or 220V, and even 50Hz or 60Hz AC input. I figured it out yesterday. Perhaps it was one of those made for the US military, as Aige...

To my observation, this is one of the design elements that distinguishes the vintage Japanese tonearms from "modern" ones. The vintage tonearms seem to disregard the length of the stub that mounts the counter-wt, and some of them are quite long. M...

Tony, I never worry about inertia, except my own.Peter, I think the total inertia is the sum of the inertia of the tonearm in front of the pivot plus that of the stub and counterweight and anything else behind the pivot. I think what you are refer...

Well, "glue-ish" was a pun on "Jewish". Darnit! Now, if you read it again, perhaps it will make you laugh.Don't worry; I know my limitations. 
Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927?
But, Peter, Raul and I were at odds on the subject. Whilst out for my evening constitutional, I thought of an additional advantage of 12-inch arms vs 9-inch: The former makes it easier for the cantilever to work against bearing friction at the piv... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
I am a little disappointed not to have had some positive feedback (some "LOL"s) for my revision of Tubed1's bartender joke. Especially from you, Fleib, and from Halcro. In any case, I made myself laugh, if no one else.

Does anyone remember what cartridge Raul was last waiting for? That would be the new "WOW". I guess he will identify it in due time, and if we behave.
