high torque AC motor ugrade or kit
That's very helpful. Out of interest were the townshend motors low, or high torque? I am begining to prefer the swagger and stride of high torque decks that seem to have little or no problem with time smear during complex passages. This is as oppo...

Anyone compared Whest Audio with Manley Steelhead?
I did a series of reviews - including the Dynavector P75 in my system. The problem with the Dynavector was that it was, for want of a better phrase a bit hurried and breathless. That said, the rest of my chain is high resolution, detailed, and sol... 
Tonearm: Phantom vs. 4 Point vs. 10.5
Wow - great problem to be faced with. Just out of interest have you also considered the likes of a Shroeder, the Basis Vector, Brinkmann 10.5. not only this, but the Kuzma Airline is supposed to be rather special as well.

Well - I said I will do an update!After getting the paint stripped off, it formed a fine layer of rust. I have just applied some liberon rust remover, and with some elbow grease - dremel and a wire brush - it is now showing the steely bare metal.

emt 950, technics sp10 - direct drive sound
Well - this is my Taj Mahal - and it's a bit like the black one that was not built.Simply put - I got an emt 929 arm, and then I got the iron plinth stripped. GEtting the plinth stripped is a BAD BAD BAD move. what happened was becasue it is cast ...
