Dear ct, one can express the same thought with different words.So persistence  on ''exactly  used words'' will not do ; meaning can't be nailed to specific words. Otherwise our memory would bethe same as by computers. Also the valuation of express... 
New Zirconia Pipe Cantilever .. What's up with that ?
Names have emotive meaning but referential function. SoShakespeare asked the question: ''what is in a name?'' Whileother were talking about ''nice'' and ''ugly names''. The bestillustration was by washing powder. Some producer packedthe same washi...

Dear ct, with your ''cheap TT's argument'' you are actually strengthening my  which was ''don't mess with TT's''. Thisthan should be ''don't mess with cheap TT's''.

Dear chakster, the saying is ''nobody is to old to learn''.I am probably older than old. But Lewm is to blame becausehe deed not answer my question about this ''current -injection''.I thought an new P&R invention. You should add the price (grin).

Dear chakster, May I conclude that you don't own an phono-prewhich can drive outputs of, say, above 0,15 mV? I need myDenon transformer only for  my Ortofon MC 2000 with 0,05 mV output.  However lew(m) also mentioned an ''current injection'' type ...

Those who intend to build an new plinth for their TT's are in differentposition from those who want to keep their TT as is. My Kuzm StabiReference accept only 9'' tonearms. Triplanar can be mountedbecause the arm(wand) is on the side of the VTA to...

I agree with bukanona. XF-1 L is better than 4 or 5. As Raul mentioned many times the switches for extra impedancesmean extra soldering points and aluminum conductors. FR produced  also ''mid '' and ''high'' impedance transformersdespite the fact ... 
FR66S vs Ikeda IT-407 vs FR66FX
I owned at least 10 FR-64S. Since the 80is. Never longed for 66Sbecause I was in love with 64S and consider this one as an beautyand 66 as an beast . I don't believe that 10 " arm is lesser than 12"arm. Besides the FR-64S can be made less heavy wi...

How much difference do lower mass cartridge clips make in playback?
Gold and silver are to soft for clips. That is why the most are madefrom gold -or silver plated bronze. Clearaudio's are machined fromRhodium and than gold-platted. All headshell wire are isolated so hardly resonate.
