Is There An "Absolute" Best Cartridge?
Dear Pedrillo, I think that we all care about 'the truth'.The problem is : truth by induction or deduction? Then wehave 'individual statements' (say from Raul,Dertonarm,etc)and we all have 'some' limitations regarding :information,knowledge,experi... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Dear Lewm, Perhaps the so -called 'universal tractor' is anmisnomer. I learned from Yip (Mint lp) that there arevariations in the diameter of the spindle by diff. TT's.He made the 'Best Tractor' for my Kuzma S.R. & Triplanar specifically .Rega... 
Next upgrade?

Dear Phil, What an beautiful 'holistic story': persistence,effort, love, friendship and objectivity put together. I wish you were in Europe. Regards, 
tonearm upgrade, how far up the food chain?
Dear Doug, Your argumentation looks very 'sound' but presupposes much knowlege about,say, analog 'experience'.I,for example, know that Van den Hul 'swears' by TechnicsEPA-100. I would never dream to pretend to know beter. But I bought the Triplana... 
tonearm upgrade, how far up the food chain?
Regarding the Rega 300 I agree with Stanwal and disagree,logicaly, with Raul (sorry Raul). I.e. the 'so-so' qualification applys for the original wiring but the Rega is easy to rewire. I bought this tonearm for my son and deed riwiring myself. BTW...

Dear Lewm (PS), I was not able to 'discover' who designed and produced your 'RS-A1' tonearm. But I am sure that Kimura san from '47 Lab' produced and sold this 'cryptic' rotating headshell that is 'the same' construction as the headshell on your t...

I forget to mention my own impression: some of those 'constructions' are obviously designed by an fisherman.Regards, 
Most fancy tonearms
Dear Solong, there is no mention in this article that those'consructions' are Russian.Well that those are 'non standard' as well that there are 'patent applications' forsome of them (he knows of 15). He intend to post about the'history of tonearm ...
