Regarding Allaerts specifications. Those are public information with ''physical assumptions'' . That is to say that experiments under the same conditions should deliver the same results. If those are not ''the same'' than the claim is not true.... 
Sony PS-X50 - MC cartridge advice please (and general MC cartridge advice)
The celebrated Sony XL series from XL 44 l till XL 88 D has the same generator but different cantilevers and styli. I would recommend XL 44 l. The best price-quality relationship knowing to me. Good samples for about $400.   
Turntable versus tonearm versus cartridge: which is MOST important?
Value judgments  are not ''truth-functional''. That is to say there is no question about truth or falsity involved. To put this otherwise ''values are cultural  determined''.  So not universal. A typical example of difference between ''nature''... 
Cost of Turntable vs. cost of Phono Stage
Everybody knows that MC cartridges have different outputs. I own   Ortofon MC 2000 with 0.05 mV output , EMT with 1 mV and many between 0,2 - 0,4 mV. In such case there is no ''one phono-pre suits all''. But there are phono-pres with different ... 
Dustcover Blues
Dust cover is a kind of ''self explaining'' expression. Dust is everywhere but we don't wan't them on our  records. So even a kid can grasp the ''connection''.   
Silver v Copper wire phono cable
Electrons are very choosy .

I own MC A3 but never used because the output is to low  for my phono-pre. So If I can help whomever  gladly so.

edgewear, ''universal quantifiers'' are used to expres generality. The so called ''universal satements'' are so ''composed''. I am not aware of existance of ''verstile statements'' of any kind.

Dear dover,  ''at least 4'' does not exist in the number theory. This then must be your meta-mathematic (grin).

xactaudio, Am I assumed to be indeterminate qua gender? I am named next to ladies and gentlemans. May I refert to my native ''socialistic country''. According to our secrtary of culture there no homosesuals in our socialistic country, But if t...

Dear dover, you forget to name just one with 6 counterweight while the expression ''multiple''  of them does not say exactly how many are involved. The difference  is as by ''numerical quantifiers'' versus  ''universal'' which are not determina...

chakster, ''the key to using the arm with high compliance cartridges  is to get the counterweght as close to the pivot as possible''.  This means, according to me, the question about ''universal arm''.  I own Sumiko 800 ( ''the arm'') with 6 co...

Dear dover,  I am not sure if ''holy water'' or wine from (Dutch) New Zeeland made you so altruistic but in the rest of the world prices are still dominant factor. In Holland, for example, all prices are 5,99; 29,99, etc, sugesting that diferen...

Dear Dover, your moral is curious. As a former seller of electronic stuff with 30% fees for your so called ''services;''  you are critizing '''small  and accidental sellers '' who try to get their own money back. Also curious that you have no i...
