Why are modern arms so ugly?
Thuchan&Hifihva, Japan was a 'closed society', to use theopposite of Poppers 'Open society'. Only the Dutch have hadthe admission to enter. 'Rangaku' was long time their name for science while this exppression actually means the study of the D... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Dear Lew, The Italian use two expressions for the carts:'testina' and 'putina'. I was so excited when acman 3 toldme about Acutex LPM 412 on Italian ebay that I passed through every page (60?) with both :testina and putina.Even thought to buy them... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Dear Professor, Thanks to Danny (Acman 3)I visited the Italian ebay for the first time in my life. I discovered that 'testina' is their word for the 'cart' and was able tobuy both carts: LPM 420 and 412. I was searching for the LPM 315 and 320 for... 
Why are modern arms so ugly?
Dear Henry, I thought that esthetics is your department.I myself have no better than that we the 'ordinary mortals'are not able to comprehend a genius. Think of Michelangelo's David or Pieta. That human hands can produce such works of art is to me... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Hi Fleib, You are very explicit in mentioning the way by which the stylus is fastended to the cantilever (bonded shibata,etc). Now J.Carr wrote in this thread (09-14-11)that the advantage of aluminum in comparison with the so called 'exotic cantil... 
A Copernican View of the Turntable System
Dear Thuchan, This is threefold teasing by which you surpassed your previous self: with the small motors, with Geoch and with my manual labour on my Kuzma platter.But there must be some reason why so many designers usedthose small motors. I though... 
Removable headshells 101
Hi Pryso, This is the problem of the abundance of information: I forget my 'source'. Anyway that is way I bought Clearaudio Titanium. An obvious copy of Orsonic.But if Raul's and Halcro's objections also apply to Clearaudio I have obviously lost m... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Dear Raul, I told Alex your whole story about the Virtuosoto give him some idea reg. what I want. I was not sure about the stylus so I wrote 'something better' than the original. I am stil waiting for his e-mail. And of courseI am 'nervous'; I nev... 
A Copernican View of the Turntable System
Dear Daniel, My I deduce from your arguments that thosesmall AC motors in the LP-12, Thorens, etc., are meant tokeep the platter moving as soon as the right spead is reached? I have two of those motors in my Kuzma Stabi Reference but I always push... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Dear Fleib, If I understand you well I can do the 'surgery' myself with many available 'donors'? But if this can be done so easely why deed Raul not try this,uh,surgery? Considering the 'level' he already occupy on his own learning curve this look... 
Removable headshells 101
Hi all, I am also informed that those Orsonics are made inChina. There is however ,say, 'similar' German version:Clearaudio Aluminum and Titanium. I own Titanium but neverused the thing. Anyway very nice wire are included in the price: 200 Euro. A... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Hi Fleib, Yes you are right. I even told Alex Raul's considerations and wanted, to put it simply, 'the same'.But I deed not mention any particular stylus. Alex willconsult me and make his own suggestions. I am however notsure what you mean with: '... 
Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously?
Dear Lew, I am not a brave man and have no intention whatever to prove enything. This peculiar TT 101 was already bought and returned to the seller by Halcro. I would never dream to prove Halcro wrong in enything. But I thought that you wanted to ... 
Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously?
Dear Halcro, There is nothing as cruel as the thruth.No wonder only a small part of the human kind pretend to be interested in the real truth: the scientist. I want mention the assumptions about the spead of light and their reaction about possible... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Hi Fleib, I just posted my Virtuoso (black) to Alex in Germany for a retip. J.Carr's comment on aluminum cantilever in mind I asked for a 'pressure fited' stylusin the aluminum cantilever (aka without glue). As soon asI know more I will post about...
