I am very reluctant to say this or whatever in the presence of Lew and Dover who are known as critical minds. In particular regarding the opinions of others. But if I remember well (not easy at my age) by the first DD TT's this, uh, 'magnetic matt... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Dear Lew, I also own the Lustre 801 which Raul admiresbut this one does not fit on my SP-10 plinth. The fact that the FR-64S fits I would not call 'ironic' but rather, say, 'accidental'. Neither apply to my new Reed 3P whichI just got from Vidmant... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Dear Harold, Glanz and Astatic are the same carts. The moving flux technology is invented by Mitachy Corp. in Japan. Glanz and Astatic were simple importers. As far asI know the Astatic 100 match the Glanz 71 and Astatic 200 the Glanz 51 and 31 L.... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Dear Harold, while I and some others decided not to participate in this thread because of Raul the case of carts valuation should be above personal animosity. Despitemy objections against the Mexican I still think that he has a 7th sense for the M... 
If you had a Benz cartridge would you let someone
Tony&Selectric, What we call 'retip' is usually exchange of the whole cantilever/ stylus combo. The old one is pulled out the new one glued instead. That is btw how supplier provide manufacturer and reapair services: cantilever with stylus alr... 
If you had a Benz cartridge would you let someone
At present Benz uses MR (micro ridge) styli but in thepast the Gyger S. Well Van den Hul designed 3 styli forGyger: Gyger 1, II and S. What is called 'Van den Hul' styli are actually Gyger styli. He probably made such anagreement with Gyger as he ... 
If you had a Benz cartridge would you let someone
'Some Benz' to be retiped by 'someone'? You probably expect that 'someone' among the members will give you the name and address of some repair service. However some Benz carts are not the other.The LP s is about $5000 some other $300. I would not ...

Dear Lew, I forget alas your quote of the comment by Twain about Wagner but I have similar comment about our moderators. They are not as bad as they look. Propably little bit 'prudish' but well sportsmanlike because they allowed my post from 08-23...

My post is declined as 'inappriate or inflamatory' probaly because I used the expressions 'hooker','prostitute' and 'whore' in the context of the logic of substitution. Substitution and quantification are interdependant so by way of introduction I...

Well one can dispute the difference between 'nacked' and 'nude' as any (?) semantic question..endless. To my mind however it is a cultural question. In some Arabic countries even a 'bare foot' is considerd as 'nudity' and if the owner of the foot ... 
Why No Power Button on Some Phono Stages?
At last we discovered some advantage of the tube amps:one can turn them off. 
Acrylic platter
Dear Lew, I understood Richard in the same way as you. Mymentioninig of the chisel and hammer by Michelangelo and(implicite) the old lathes by creation of the Sumiko 800,FR-64 and Triplanar was not about the 'instruments used'but about the masters...

Addendum for Richard. You may be interested to know thatphysicist designer David Fletcher and the master machinistDemian Davidson produced togehter the so called 'The arm','The better Breuer' or simply the Sumiko 800 tonearam.This tonearm is handc... 
Acrylic platter
Dear Richard, ''different operators produce different 'quality' even thought they are using the same program.'' Lew is better equiped for this domain of knowledge but a big part of the frontal lobe 'govern' our hands. Every single person who has s... 
Acrylic platter
Dear Lew, Exactly what I thought about Richard: 'fearless and adventuresome'. Who else would dare to mess with, uh, 'the best' DD TT ever? In my previous post I mentioned to have 'some idea' how metal platters are 'balanced'. Well by my first Thor...
