The math says… The calculation says that the cartridge/arm RF is a very healthy 8.37 Hz.  So my question is why does the low-mass arm make a difference in the sound?  If the mass were higher, the cartridge/arm compliance would logically be a high...

@rauliruegas   Ah ha! thanks for pointing out the difference between the Japanese standard and the US/euro standard dyne. A lot more compliant than I ever thought. No wonder cart we’re getting such apparent poor results.  ready to do the real mou...

I did check with Aric. He recommended of 1:10 winding and did not see any detriment to do what I have planned, from the SUT perspective anyway.  also: FROM ARIC: Hi Michael, My MM phono stage does not use any capacitors at the input so there’s no ...

What is your experience with the Spin Clean?
I had a spin queen. I couldn’t believe how loud it was(110dB)  on top of not doing a really great job.  I bought a Humminguru. 500 bucks. Does a good job for 500 bucks. You can spin it a couple of times and it does just as good as for a job as $30... 
Spikes on tower speakers
ZU speakers are known to have a bizarre impedance curve that works in real life. Might this have something to do with what I like with ZU and disengagement with the floor? ml
