Acrylic platter
Dear Lew, I am sorry for the confusion. I thought that the context was 'obvious' but I also know that many thoughts are seldom explicite and contain implicite parts. The acrylic mat (5mm) I was talking about I own for some time but never used beca... 
Acrylic platter
I just compared the SEAC SS 300 (solid) mat with the acrylic one but 5mm thick. My friend Lew advised the SEAC for my SP 10 mk II. Now I was always an admirer of P.Lurne who was the TT designer by Goldmund first and started his own company 'Audiom...

Dear Lew, There is a thread about Jasmine LP 2 with many reports reg. individual impressions. There is even the consensus about the performance- price relation. But myupgrade with those Jantzen Z caps 'moved' the pre in adifferent league. Not in t...

Dear Lew, While you was studying 'vintage phono stages' I bought an, uh, modern Chinese Jasmine LP 2 phono-pre for $500. I even upgraded the (MKP) caps with Jantzen Z caps. There is alas no basement in my apartment so I installed my second system ...

Dear Henry, I am still suspect and threated as such bythe moderators. No idea why but I am original from theEastern bloc and begin to recognize some precarious development in the West but, alas , it is to late to emigrate back. I already posted my...

Dear Thuchan, I see the usual Arche headshell on your ToXiom ( why not ToHiom?) and assume consequently the so called SME standard headshell. But because of differentwands weight as well the peculiar angle for the headshell(s)the lateral balance c...

My previous TT Audiomeca J1 had acrylic layers with lead in between, my present Kuzma Stabi Reference has also acrylic layers with aluminum plate in between. You can buy an acrylic mat for much less money, try and if satisfy you can eventual glue ...

Unoear, I made up the whole story about 'associtation' for you but you obviouly missed the clue. I associate the handkerchif with the womens behind because I always think about those. You obviously always think about Dertonarm. That is why you ove...

Dear Lew, Toho, Toto and Beveridge are obviously all unique. So who would be not interested to hear more about them? But I am wondering when the Beveridge will move upstairs? To be honest I am skeptical about those woofers you made 40 years ago wi...

Dear Lew, The modesty may hinder Thuchan to answer your question. 'ToXion' is a product of collaboration between Dertonarm and Thuchan. Thuchan bought in Japan 6 beautiful wooden (arm) wands and needed a special tonearm to accomodate them. Dertona... 
Headshell leads and Arche headshell
What 'association' means ? Well John what do you thinkwhen you see, say, this hanky? John: 'I think about my mother cause she is a tearful kind of a person.'And you Peter? Peter:'I think about womens behind.'How come? Peter: 'I always think about ... 
Headshell leads and Arche headshell
Suteetat, I bought 3 inserts (2x standard 1x 'thick one') instead of one other Arche which is equivalent to 4 Arche's. Then I soldered my own headshell wire from silver Litz and Clearaudio clips (the best there are). This way one can determine the...

Dear Henry, the most important fact in our hobby is whatone self believes. The other may believe, for example, thatthose thin gold platings on the connectors wear off evenfrom looking at them. But the theory that they get better by each put in /pu...

Dear Lew, Thanks for your explantion . I at last understand what the problem with the 'simple switch' is. I thought that those 3-4 cm extra wire for a second input would cause no problem of any kind. But I am glad that I noticed this 'peculiarity'...

Dear Henry, That is exactly what the 'Einstein who is not Einstein' suggested to me as 'solution' to my problem: plug in one cable in the (same)inpunt, then unplug this oneand plug the other one instead. My idea was that an single switch for the o...
