Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Dear Halco, You of course know that we all were Popperians(critical rationalist) till Thomas Kuhn. Then we all started talking about the paradigmas and their shift. Thereis also the social phsychology wich is somehow connected with the 'social sta... 
Why Would a Turntable Need More than 1 Arm ?
I agree with Audiofeil and Mesael but my primary reason isthe circumstance that I prefer some kind of music with onecart and the other kind with the second cart. BTW it is relativly easy to add a second arm to nearly any TT. Regards, 
A Copernican View of the Turntable System
Dear Halcro, I already mentioned spikes. They are made fromsteel and are of course adjustable (+/-4mm). My specimen is7kgr but the weight is dependent from the ordered dimensions wich should be consulted with Vidmantas (the owner of the Reed) or t... 
A Copernican View of the Turntable System
Dear all, I use the arm pod specialy made for my Kuzma Stabi Ref. by the Reed in conjunction with the 2A ,12''tonearm ( www.tonearms.lt/accessories). Both the TT and the'tower' rest upon 3 spikes and together on a sand filled rack ( Copulare). The... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Dear Raul&Lew, Everyone seems to associate Ikeda san withFR-64 & 66 tonearms. But he also produced: FR-14; FR-24 mkIand mk II; FR-34s and FR-54. All of them medium mass arms.So those MM carts are obviously not produced for the'othertonearm... 
Usher DMD tweeter upgrade: worth it?
Dear Betterbelizeit, You surely deserve a good bottle ofwhysky; I will still keep 560 Euro. BTW I ivented the 'Holland Version' per analogy of the US price. But I have no idea if you in the US also need to return the Betweeters to your dealers? Ie... 
Usher DMD tweeter upgrade: worth it?
Betterbelizeit, Thanks for the info. I nearly ordered a pair for my BE-20. However there is also the 'Holland Version' of this DMD tweeter with unknown 'bodily fluids' for 600 Euro but one needs to return his Be version to the dealer. So I intend ... 
Upgrading from Benz ace m to ?will spend 3k
Hi Rugby1, My suggestion is Benz Ruby 3 S (FG). This cart has the same 'motor' as the LP but different wood body (Bruyere). The letter 'S' is not correct according to mebecause the stylus is (FG) Fritz Geiger latest stylus wichis also used by J. A... 
why do some turntables have multiple tonearms?
To me it is about the kind of music one is listen to. I useTriplanar/ Benz Ruby 3s for vocals and the Reed 2A /PhaseTech P-3G for piano music and symphonys. There are no perfect carts nor tonearms. So one should use what is bestin the given circum...

Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Dear Raul, It is not my buseness to defend Lew but he isa scientist so he is critical 'by nature'. He even criticize his own (former) post and I am sure that he wouldcriticize the post of his own son if he wrote something that deserves critical re... 
Are our 'test' records adequate?
Dear Halcro,There is this,say,'technical capacity' wich allow some to 'translate' their musical preferences intechnical conditions that the speakers,etc 'gear'should satisfy in order to get satisfactory results. Such personsare, say, ex post able ... 
Are our 'test' records adequate?
Dear Halcro, Your 'nacked TT' contribution contains philosophical, literary and scientific aspects. So you area very complex person to me. My approach is pure emotionalor subjective. When I listen to Dietrich 'Winterreise' Iget tears in my eyes. S... 
Are our 'test' records adequate?
Dear Halcro, the 'adequate' refers to me to two categorys:the technical test LP's and the 'musical' one. The first one are never 'adequate' but provide for 'initial conditions'.Ie to start with. The musical will depend on our preferences in (co)re...
