anyone happy with Breuer tonearm? experiences?
The myths about 'Breuer' get even stronger. BTW there aredifferent versions from different times. All of them are overpriced . There are also Brinkmann versions with the 'right' counterweight(s). Breuer refused to add any separates. In my opinion ... 
Has anybody tried the Reed 3P?
Vidmantas informed me that my 'reading' of his azimuth construction is correct. His intention was to make 'fine tuning' by ear possible for all parameters. However bylooking at the pictures of the 3P I discovered that not all headshells are 'equal...

Well this thread become 'something totaly different':it is now about who knows better. Nobody invited Vetteroneto demonstrate his knowledge so he obviuously invited him self. To surpass him I decided to check the German forums but to my big supris...

Dear Lew, No need to apologize because the identity relation is inscrutable. Even Wittgenstein made a strong point by stating: 'for two things to say that they are identical make no sense and to say that everything is identical with it selfs says ... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Dear Raul, I am very glad to hear your approval reg. theSony XL 88. The coincidence was that Thuchan was justlistening to his XL 88 and regards this cart as equal tohis FR-7f. I consulted Thuchan before I bought the Sony.According to Thuchan the 8...

Dear Lew, Thanks to the fact that something was rotten inDenmark we got a great literary work. However you should know that many carts in the same series share the same corpus (aka 'generator'). The Glanz 51 has the sufix 'E'(aka 'elliptical) and ... 
Has anybody tried the Reed 3P?
Dear Jfrech, For my other tonearms ( the Triplanar and theReed 2A are 'fastened' to my Kuzma S.R) I always buy headshells with azimuth adjustment. One never knows in advance how the stylus of some cart is glued or fastened to the cantilever. The c...

Dear Sean, I was also to slow to to see the 'light'.But you need to unscrew just one screw to exchange the cartholder. The Allen keys are everywhere obtainable. The azimuth part is a separate option and has no connection with 'cart holder' exchang...

Addendum 2, Well according to the logic of identity 'everything is identical with it self'. According to some logician :' Glanz 5 = Glanz 5' is true because of the meaning. Aka 'analytic truth'. However I made an error. My intention was to state t... 
Has anybody tried the Reed 3P?
Dear Sonofjim, I am, I think, even worse. I adjust my carts only once ( troublesome enough) and don't bother further about any, uh, parameter. But when I buy an tonearmI want all the extras. Asking for the reasons in our hobby is only a way of spe... 
Has anybody tried the Reed 3P?
Dear Jfrech, I am not sure how your comment is intended.Anyway my own assumptions should not be attributed to Vidmantas. BTW I wrote to him and asked for his comment if my 'interpretation' is wrong or need some added explanation. The azimuth provi...

Addendum, My assumption about possible connection betweenthe Astatic and the Glanz is even more strenghtened bythe folowing consideratios. I compared (visualy) my ownAstatic MF 200 with the pictures of the Glanz 51.They look to me like a twin. Bes...

Dear Dgob, Like Lew I have never seen the G5 or G7 on any ebay (4)which I visit regular. Except the 51 MF and some other with the 'wrong nr.' which look to me similar to the Astatic MF versions ( 100,200 and 300). Is there any connection between t... 
Has anybody tried the Reed 3P?
As the oldest customer ( in both sense) by the Reed I feelpretty embarrassed to admit to have just 'discovered' howingenious the headshell actually is. Embarrassed also because I made some 'technical suggestions' to Vidmantas about the headshell. ... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Raul actually never stated that MM carts are better thenMC carts. What he deed say can be put this way: 'some MMcarts are better then (some)MC carts'. For the quantifier'some' in this statement to be true the needed 'condition'is that at least one...
