| Humminguru record cleaner Moonwatcher, to your post of 2/13, please re-read my post about “ultrasonic “ STYLUS cleaners. They are not ultrasonic. They operate at around 500 Hz. Of course, US cleaners for LPs are ultrasonic. That’s all I was saying. | |
| Turntable Cartridge upgrade question. "sub 10K are just entry level audiophile TT" As an experienced audiophile, it is my opinion that this statement is potentially misleading to anyone who is new to the hobby. (I sifted through many less neutral, more pejorative adjectives before s... | |

| Questions Regarding Installing a Wheaton Triplanar On A SOTA Cosmos With 10 inch or longer TP, should work fine. | |
| Questions Regarding Installing a Wheaton Triplanar On A SOTA Cosmos This is your model to explain what you believe a priori. That’s fine. | |
| Questions Regarding Installing a Wheaton Triplanar On A SOTA Cosmos Pindac, This is an excerpt from your long post about platter mats, above: "The AT -666 Vacuum Mat is the most lean with the Tenuto Gun Metal being Lean, but with a hint of Rich injection if only compared to the 666. Rock, Indie, Country, American... | |
| Questions Regarding Installing a Wheaton Triplanar On A SOTA Cosmos Ralph., I was simply pointing out that there are some who seek to isolate the LP in space above the platter. I did not say I agree with that approach or would embrace it myself. | |
| Questions Regarding Installing a Wheaton Triplanar On A SOTA Cosmos I would think that the cartridge itself is vibrating secondary to the movements of the cantilever. Not all that energy is delivered into the vinyl; what you are hearing is sound created directly by movement of air molecules because of motion of th... | |
| Questions Regarding Installing a Wheaton Triplanar On A SOTA Cosmos Do you actually change mats according to the genre of the music you plan to audition? Your audiophilia must be very tiring and time consuming. My philosophy has been make a choice carefully and live with it. | |
| Questions Regarding Installing a Wheaton Triplanar On A SOTA Cosmos And yet there are those devoted to mats that barely make contact with the LP, like the Resomat or certain cork mats. There’s no accounting for individual taste and rule making is futile. | |
| Questions Regarding Installing a Wheaton Triplanar On A SOTA Cosmos Lots of SP10 Mk3 users have removed the motor assembly from the base chassis and re-installed the motor only in a plinth that permits the coupling you describe.

| Technics SL-1200GAE or VPI HW-40 or …? A familiar Audiogon motif: OP asks should I buy A or B. Responders say buy C instead. I would only say to disregard a reviewer who says there’s no difference between the Technics and the Stealth. Sorry I can’t help with your choice as I’ve not hea... | |
| Questions Regarding Installing a Wheaton Triplanar On A SOTA Cosmos If I am remembering the spatial relationships correctly, you would need a spacer wide enough to bring the base of the TP up to the level of the top of the square escutcheon that surrounds the platter (on Technics SP10 mk2, mk3, and R).

| Cartridge mounting woes I did not originally understand that the headshell has captured nuts. Now that I know that, I’d agree with Dover. I was once confronted with a similar dilemma. | |
