In addition to Fleib's arguments. I just got Dertonarm's new Archon MC cart. I use this cart with his Arche headshell. Well I was confused by the angle at which the stylus is fastened to the cantilver. I assume 23 degrees but am not sure. So the o... 
Grace F9 question
I own the F9 E. I noticed that the stylus or rather the cantilever is fastened or centered with the so called 'tension wire'. There is no way any re-tipper can do anything about the suspension involved. A new cantilever can only be put in the (cut...

Does anyone own the JVC X-1? This cart is one of the bestMM carts I have ever heard. Alas I broke the cantilever bymy attempt to straithen the thing. I thought that the cantilever is made from aluminum but it is a kind of metalrod. Are there any r...

Pkoegz, In a similar context I addressed our (rich) memberThuchan with the story about his compatriot Marlene Dietrich. She was wondering why the American women are so badly clothed. 'At present' (the 60is) she stated ' one can get decent clothing...

Acman3, There is this old (confused) conecption about thedifference between 'quality and quantity'. Well if one isan obssesed collector of carts the savings must come fromsomewhere. Besides I think that the 'good old punctuation' is already very c...

Dear Fleib, Because of Jcarr I was polite. I should address you only and rephrase my 'menace': If you continue with revealing the shortcomings of (all) carts I will buy a (SA) CD player. Now regarding Raul and my favorite carts I like the distorti...

Dear Fleib, If you and Jcarr continue with revealing the complexity and faults of carts I will buy a CD player (grin).
