My kiseki Blackheart nightmare.
Quality control relates to possible defects. But sound quality relates to the ''master'' who make the cartridge. Van denDungen obviously deed not find the ''right master'' as (alias)Mr. Fukadu who made all ''old Kisekie's'' which were in highestee... 
Possibly Dumb Question re:Battery as a power supply
I use what I call ''German artillery'' consisting of ASR Emitter IIamp and Basis Exclusive phono-pre . Together + 120 kg. Bothhave battery power supply consisting of 2 x 6 X 6 Volt batteries.One for  pre -amp in the amp the other for the phono pre... 
Turntable versus tonearm versus cartridge: which is MOST important?
If the assertions (premise) are not true then deduced statementsfrom those assertion also can't  be true. Assertion formulatedin the simple ''S is P'' form ( ''subject is predicate'') can hardlybe sufficient base for  correct reasoning. Relational... 
Turntable versus tonearm versus cartridge: which is MOST important?
''The terror of grammar''? Each comparison imply relational context:  ''x is better, larger, etc, than y'', But the grammarforce you to put this relation in ''x is P'' grammar form . Thatis  ascribing some property to the object x. We don't say ''...

eBay as reference. One can read philosophical disputes ''onreferring'' but what we all expect is that a name should namesomeone. When I noticed ''to many Van den Hul's'' on , say,second hand market in combination with the fact that Mr.Van den Hul ...

Dear dover, I have seen Lewn reaction at your post and assumedthat he was your  ''target'',  That is the consequence of  unclearreference . I even considered to involve Kant in our discussionwith his distinction between ''pure reason'' and ''exper...

Dear dover, If you mean Lew by ''some folk'' I need to explainhis way of thinking. He usually make his assertion explicitand deduce from those other statements. He of course alsoassume that if his assertion (premise) are not true thanalso deduced ...

Dear dover,  I realize the limitation of grammar with ''Subject (is)Predicate'' sentence form while all kind of comparisons we useassume ''relational statements'' like in our forum with ''betterthan,,,'';  ''more important than...'' etc. relations... 
why do people think the LINN LP 12 is so superior to the Thorens (say 165 super)
My guess is better made and heavier platter by Linn. I alsoowned Thorens 160 ''pro'' but prefer Linn.

Truth versus authority. In western ''culture'' there was confusionbetween those two. That is why Aristoteles ruled for 2000 yearsin western education. Because of his ''authority''. For my American friends who are interested in ''phylosophicalquest... 
MY SONIC LAB Cartridges
The implicit premise or assumption is based on Aristotelian''essentialism'' . The conviction that objects have ''essential''or ''accidental'' properties. Because of his influence in Western education this assumption is still present despite the fa... 
Raven vs. Verdier La Platine
The ''second arm problem'' by the (old) Stabi Reference can be solved by ordering an armpod by Reed + 12 '' tonearm and  put next to the TT. That is how I solved this ''problem''.  
Is great sound possible through an on-board, MM phono stage?
There are more superfluous ''components'' in our ''collections'' thanan SUT for MM input.  
Raven vs. Verdier La Platine
mijostyn, No I mean ''the old one'' who deed not need an ''improvement'' for 25 years. So good was the design. Thenew one (aka mk 2) has added arm boards for 10 '' armsbut is actually the same design. This ''explains'' its secondhand price. The ne...

For those who are not members of Rockefeller family I wouldrecommend Kuzma Stabi Reference ( two motors as Lew describerd). Second hand for about 3500 euro.
