A full range speaker?
I used to think such things mattered but now know very clearly they do not. These specs are measured in anechoic chambers. So unless you listen in an anechoic chamber you can forget about that. Then since you are not in an anechoic chamber all the... 
Harmon Kardon Turntable T60 Platter Matt and Strobe Weight question
The answer is as long as they fit then yes. The way these things work is all about mass and vibration control. These things go together so that all you really can ever do is try and see. If you like it then it works and that is that.  Keep in mind... 
Step up transformer or upgrade phono preamp?
You already have enough gain. What you don't have is enough phono stage. Listen to artemus_5 and skip the SUT and go straight to a better phono stage. Huge improvement. SUT will be a lateral, and depending on the interconnect maybe even go the wro...

Put fun back into Hometheater+Music
You must have been reading some turntable threads. For some reason it is impossible to play a record. Frankly it is impossible even to have a record to play. First it must be cleaned, a process that all by itself consumes more time and resources t... 
Phono cartridge torque wrench
Few things bug me more than guys who tighten everything as if the tighter the better. A tiny bit more than snug and you are done.   
What are the current useless terms in this "audio world"
That's the idea. 
Tekton Double Impacts
We are not trying to control each other's buying behavior. I'm clearly now on Team Moab. Super percussive speaker, but not bloaty. Rarified midrange and layers.   Sometimes you get something that is truly breathtaking, and why not "give it away"?...
