There is, in my opinion, this division among us regarding ourlove for our ''components'': essentialist and holistic.Love has to do with selection and selection with intensityof our feelings for whatever. I am in love, so to speak, withspeakers, to... 
Technics Sp10 Mk2 vs SL-1200G - I finally did an A/B
I am not sure if ''there is no such thing as gratitude'' is of''categorical nature'' but I do remember that ''our Lew''described all the capacitors (Technics?) needed for theupgrade some time or long time ago. So instead to be thankful and use the... 
Technics Sp10 Mk2 vs SL-1200G - I finally did an A/B

Upcoming Technics SP-10R (100th Anniversary Model)
Well Lew, I consider both Dertonarm and Vindmantas (owner/designer by Reed) as genius. Those are so rare that i have noidea how to write the plural. We all (?) are familiar with Dertonarmbut not with Vindmantas. Well he is/was a real rocket scient...

@best-groove, My Obsidian plinth looks exactly the same asthe one on your reference ''Here''. However instead of markerB3 my sample has ''SL-1000,mk 2''. It is not clear what you own because your description is notclear but from the context one ca... 
Phono (0.1- 0.22mV+) or step up for LOMC?
About 10 years ago Dertonarm explained to me why he prefersSUT's and FR-7 kinds. But his SUT ''theory'' was that both impedance and inductance need to ''correspond'' for optimalresult. Because of my, uh, ignorance, I thought that I wouldneed an se... 
Phono (0.1- 0.22mV+) or step up for LOMC?
@chakster , I assume that your ''guess'' is connected with thementioned ''mini Basis'' phono-pre. I own the whole ASR Germanartillery: two transformers (40kg each), 2 battery supply (onefor the amp the other for the phono-pre) than Emitter II (the... 
New SME SYNERGY Turntable!
The ''crystal cables'' is established by the wife of the Siltechowner. She obviously noticed what kind of money is involvedwith cables and decided to try for her own but with the idea that(sometime) ''less is better'' which explains the thickness ... 
How good is the Obsidian plinth of Technics SP10 ?

How good is the Obsidian plinth of Technics SP10 ?

How good is the Obsidian plinth of Technics SP10 ?
Dear chakster, I begin to believe that either your dad or you belongto the so called ''Putins friends''. Such expensive footers and thantwice. ''Lews Kenwood''  is a kind of speaking. This does not meanhis sample but this model in general.  i have...

Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
The statement that the ''top of the line'' cart is lesser than thefollowing ''version'' may look strange but we all (?) know theproblem with the ''light weight tonearms''. There are actually nogood one in existence while their mechanical stability...
