Thanks again dover, I nearly bought one increasing my MC collectionto 41 samples (grin). Difficult to accept the situation with 40 cartswhile Nova 13 D seems to be the best but outside of my collection.At last I learned from the Dutch to be more c... 
Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927?
Hi Peter, Thuchan and I are teasing each other. We both belongto the old ''German group''. I own Kuzma Stabi Refrence and SP-10mk2 in Obsidian plinth. I am more obsessed with carts than TT's.I don't need an third TT.

Dear thuchan, If your suggestion is that I can't afford EMT 927 you are wrong. But I must admit no to be able to afford Apolyt (grin).

Dear thuchan, My worst ''subject'' at school was mathematics. So you can understand that using to many variables is notto my liking, or, better,  to my capabilities. Regarding my age Ihope ''the older the wiser''. Reg. my ears I never needed to vi...

Dear dover, Does your praise reg. Dynavector Nova 13 d applyfor 13 d in general or for your by Dyna ''refurbished'' sample inparticular? Before I buy one more cart I would like to know.

Dear thuchan, I thought you are ignoring your ''old friend''. Thanks for your advice and willingness to help. I would order the Apolyt if Ihad sufficient room and money .  My problem is actually that I amnot able to hear the difference between (go...

Thanks dover, Do you mean that the ''new owners'' produced this new ''9 series carts''? So I can still admire our ''old Ikeda'' (grin).BTW what is your opinion about those ''cantileverless kinds''?I am wondering why  those Decca  admirer never dis...

Dear chakster, With MM kinds we have had the luxury of Raul'sinvestigations and recommendations. But those who prefer MC kinds were on their own. This was an much more expensivesearch. So the only way was to sell ''some'' in order  to buy some oth...

Dear bukanonas, Probably because mammoth tusk are found in Russia I confused the producers (grin). I love FR-fz as much asthe 9 REX. The REX is latest in the series 9 cantileverless kinds with unbelievable compliance. Recommended VTF 1.5 g. I use1...

Dear endgewear, Ikeda produced at least 4 different tonearms.To know if he was consistent one should know geometry ofeach of them. I do remember ( vague) that some Russian cartproducer uses ivory for his cart bodies . The ''theory'' seemsto be bas...

I don't believe Ikeda himself was as dogmatic as our friendschakster and edgewear. I am not sure about other FR- 7kindsbut I owned this ''rare''  FR-702. According to Syntax this oneis made for European market. I am also not sure about that butwel...

edgewear, Being dogmatic is only ''allowed'' if you are strongbeliever in whatever religion . There are not many carts withfast headshells. The most can be adjusted in their headshell  to whatever geometry ( aka eff. length). Even Dertonarm usedhi...

parrotbee, I am not pedantic but one need to discriminate betweenFR-64 and FR-64 S.''S'' standing for ''steel''. FR-64 , to be recognisedby round lateral balans,  has aluminum ( arm) wands. The 231.5 pivot to spindle distance change original Stive...
