Some tables have soul and some not
Dear Rok2id, You have obviously never heard about phylosophy of science. The truth values are from logic.The logical schematics mark the places with variables which need to be filled in with names such that an sentence function can become a senten...

Inna, you obviously missed the the point of reference.The religious 'arguments' are silly in the context. Ie thereligious statements have no truth values. For the truth value one need the sense as well as the reference of the used names. Otherwise...

Dear Rok2id, We obviously agree regarding 'the soul' in the TT's. In my first comment I stated that the problem with metaphors is the fact that everyone has his own interpretation. Your position is that inanimate objects like TT's have no soul. Bu...

Dear Rok2id, To explain the 'point of this discussinon' Iwill use this example. This also may explain the differencebetween the sense and reference. We in Europe spend a hugeamount of money for the collider in Cern. The 'point' wasthat the meaning...

Dear Orpheus, What 'metaphysics' means is an inscrutable phylosophical issue. To reduce the complexity Quine wrote an article about 'On what there is'. Aka the ontological question about what kinds of beings there are. Stated in quantification ter...

I need to put this in Fregean way: any sentence with the word 'soul' as a part is not truth-functional. This word may have some sense but it lacks reference. There is nobearer for this 'name' which is the same as a not existingentity. To attribute...

Dear Gerhard, Regarding 'other possibilties'. You can askAxel (Schallplattennadeln.de) for advice. In the MM threadyou can find many satisfied customers.Regards, 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Dear Grifithds, In addition to Rauls info. The sufix Van den Hul means that those AKG's have his stylus while other use specific AKG styli with very low mass. The problem byall of them is the hardening of the suspension as function of time and lig...

Dear Geoch, I agree totally with your 'whealty assumption'reg. the ''exclusive TT's''. The prices are 'astronomical' but obviously not economical. Ie those are not easy to sell. So your pressuposed 'whealthy victims' are probable very scarce kind ...

Dear Lew, I know your opinion about Lurne for some time butGoldmund thought obviously otherwise when they hired himas a TT designer. I am not sure if he designed the GoldmundReference but well that he designed the Studio which isa DD kind and also... 
Cart recommendations for Fidelity Research FR-64S
Not sure if the 9C is in the same leaque as the other cantileverless Ikeda carts but for $400 it looks to me like 'the bargain of the year'. You can even earn $200 profit without any effort by (re)selling the cart to me.Regards,

Dear Fleib, 'Ironically' there are some famous designers who still believe that paper cone sounds, uh, most 'natural'. Anyway for the mid-drivers. Prof. Scheuring,the designer of Ascendo speakers and the formerowner/designer by Audio Physics Gerha... 
Cart recommendations for Fidelity Research FR-64S
There are two extra weights for the FR-64. 170 and 190 gr.if I remember well. Regarding the arm mass: the lighter theheadshell the smaller the mass and (contra intuitive) theheavier the weight the smaller the mass ( closer to the pivot). Regards,

Ketchup, Well still a live are: Lurne, Kuzma, Driessen (Pluto) and Simon Yorke. To my knowledge only Lurne produced also DD TT's (Studio, Studietto) but in his owncompany (Audiomeca) only belt driven TT's. It seems reasonable to think that they pr...

Tubed1, No offence intended of course. But this way wemay get in 'steamers','barrels',etc., so somebody else mayask the question: 'what by God has this to do with MM carts?'Regards,
