Dear Dgarretson,If you called my 'assumption' the false 'authority consensus' I would agree. We are supposed to share information we have but this does not mean that wechecked everything in the sense of the truth value. I thought that the opinion ...

The designer/producer of the Terminator tonearm bought oneof my 420 and also 415, 412 and M 312 STR by the 'pizza guy' in Italy. He was impressed by 420 and M 312 and notso much by the other two. The 312 is still available on theItalian ebay ( tes... 
Mint LP Best Tractor---HELP
There is obviously a 4th tonearm geometry invented by Harryfrom VPI. Downunder forget to mention on which part of therecord this one 'sounds best'. The other 3 geometries are all designed in relationship to the record diameter. Bearwald is the bes...

Oh horror! I use a 'blanco' record (without groove) for thebias adjustment. Not to determine the bias force but to have any idea where to start. The same apply for the 10 x 'rule' . One needs some orientation 'point(s)' and can 'tune by ear' from ... 
Mint Best Tractor still in business?
Narticus, 'around 257mm' will not do.If Yip has no data about some arm/TT combo he will ask you even to measure very pricise the spindle diameter of your TT. Those seem to vary 'considarably'. I own 4 Mint tractors made for 4 different tonearms an...

Dear Chris, I don't believe that your amount of TT's, tonearms, carts and more in particular speakers can be explained with your mom's upbringing methods. But I mustconfess that my both sons whose education cost me a fortune still ask: 'do I got T...

I agree with Audiolui, A novice or amateur needs some clearquidance instruction. The 'experts' conditional: 'it depends' from 99+ variables is worthless for the others. One feels like leaved behind in a desert without water. But they, the experts ... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Like the girl next door which we overlooked for 10 yearsand then were to late. Heureka: keep the previous record onthe platter and put onother one above. The best mat ever invented by a (tipsy)coincidence.

Dear comrade Don, There are other comrads than Raul and they all like to know if 220 and 440 have the same generator and body? I already own the right stylus (AT 12S)Regards,

Dear Dover, I hope you realize that we are again in the wrong thread? Except of course if we intend to hide our preference for the MC carts from our MM 'comrades'. Myprovisional ranking is: 1. Magic Diamond;2. Miyabi Standard (aka Krell KC100);3. ...

Dear Acman, the parallel universe is a kind of 'show off'about my philosophical 'inclination'. But when I was confronted with 'all possible worlds' I give my philosophical study up. 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Dear Fleib& Acman, Because of your contributions I lookedat my AT 12 S stylus for the first time carefuly. I own an hand microscope (50 x) and was able to see what kind of 'riches' I actually own. The cantilever and the Shibatastylus look fant...
