Phantom Supreme to 4Point-14?
Dear Lew, I think that your (beloved) son explains the situation. His ascetic charakter he obviously ''inherited'' from his mom and not from his dad. My beloved son is the oposit but in the sens that he also does not care about my hobby but wel...

Dear Leww, Thanks for your politeness and kindness. However those seem to apply only after your dead. I don't believe in God or other not physical entities by in  your case I do beieve in angels. Your wife is different  from  all others. She gi...

Dear pindac, If your warrning is directed at me in connection with Lew''s Kenwood you are at  wrong address. I bought only one cart in Japan, Ikeda's Rex because I was not able to find one ''in de West''. But my eaxperience with Japanese interm...

Dear Lew, I assume that everyone is familiar with your ''deviant love affairs'' in the sense of prefering TT's about all other , say, components. Your tonearm preferences are directly related to your TT's. I ever try to get your  Kenwood witho...

Dea Raul, I have no intetion to contiue the disput with you about EPA 100. My feedback by oweners mentioned those ruby bearings as  problematic because those ''give up'' as first. Like dampers by EMT cartridges. I am wondering that nobody in t...

Dear Raul, Your prejudice about a.o. tonearms ''prevent you'' to grasp the question. The question is NOT which arm is better but WHY SOME OF THEM  have limited counter weights. One of possible reasons than are kinds of bearings. In this context...

Dear Raul, I owned both EPA 100 and speak from my own experience. They are not suitable for MC carts. To put it otherwise ruby or sapphire bearings can't  support the needed counter weights. In this context I mentioned Ikeda-san . I hope Albert...

It would be interesting to know if and why  Breuer refused to provide his customers with additional counter weights?  Alabertporter was his friend and also importer of Breuer arms in America. He should be  able to explain the issue. There are '...

Addendum. I own Sumiko 800 with 6 couter-weights. Meant for carts from 6g till 25g. The idea being to get each weight as near as possible to the pivot. One can deduce ''some'' conclusions from this info assuming the premise is ''correct''.

EPA 100 (both versions) is not suitable for MC carts. BTW Ikeda-san deed not trust ruby bearings. Reed kinds also use saphire bearings  which have limited (counter) weight  possibilty. Vidmantas refused to provide me with heavier kinds because ... 
Kiseki Purpleheart
Dear edgewear, I wrote to Durob Audio in Holland (which owner is Van den Dungen who also owns an factory in China for tubed amps)  about my problem with Agaat.  To my big surprise I got an answer from the ''master himself''. He propsed to me t...

Bargain hunters versus connoisseurs. The first mentioned look at the price the second for ''the master'' who made them. Say Ikeda-san, Takeda-san, (Jan) Allaers, Reto Andreoli, J.Carr , etc. Those which are rarely offered for sell. This is the ... 
Why Do Cables Matter?
Alhemist never suceeded to turn lead into gold as ordered by German ''Keizer'' which ''tresure'' was empty. They all were dissmised and changed their name into ''metalurgist''. As such they were more succesful. Some of them deed suceed but not ... 
I need Hign compliance cartridges
By MC kinds one need to separate ''iron '' -from ''coreless coils''. The first mentioned increase the output but also distortionas (sic!)  the second decrease output ( +/- 0,2 mV)  as well impedance and compliance.  Koetsu is example for the fi... 
Build a Faraday cage around your equipment.
The problem occurs by systems near or close ro windows. But my Allaerts cart has Faraday cage arounds the body (corpus). Then there is this IC producer Anti Cable with Faraday cage around signal wire.
