Jico SAS vs Neo-SAS(S) vs Neo-SAS(R)
Dear Dover, Because my friend Axel Schurholz (retip service) gotmore customers than he was able to ''service'' I wanted to helphim by his search for styli and cantilevers. For the Japanese''jewel comapnies'' I asked J. Carr for help but except the... 
Jico SAS vs Neo-SAS(S) vs Neo-SAS(R)
Dear Dover, As usual ''eloquent post'' or, should I say, ''holisticapproach''  characteristic for eloquent persons. There is howeverthis premise in your reasoning which is not true while logic state''if the premise is not true then deduced stateme... 
Jico SAS vs Neo-SAS(S) vs Neo-SAS(R)
The logical conseqence from ''a and b are identical'' is that onecan substitute a for b or the other way round ''salva veritate''.Say: ''whatever is true about Vienna is also true about Wien''.To put this otherwise:  ''if saphire and ruby '' are i... 
Jico SAS vs Neo-SAS(S) vs Neo-SAS(R)
Dear Jessica, I am obviously not very successful with referring.I meant  ''some Aussie'' not you.  
Jico SAS vs Neo-SAS(S) vs Neo-SAS(R)
I think that those who question my, say, interpretation of Carr'sopinion about saphire cantilevers should provide the referenceto his post about cantilevers. BTW I asked back then the questionabout cantilever kinds and Carr was so kind to answer m... 
Jico SAS vs Neo-SAS(S) vs Neo-SAS(R)
Dear Jessica, My formulation ''or words with the same meaning'' was, I thought , sufficient indication that I was not willing  to serach in the  ''endless'' MM thread even for my beloved J.Carr .  
Jico SAS vs Neo-SAS(S) vs Neo-SAS(R)
I assume that the contributions of our beloved and respected J.Carrare raed with more attention than the other. We have had a discussion about cantilevers in which he explained why he usesboron as well what the advantage of aluminum (alloy) is ; p... 
Benz Ebony L retip
''esoteric'' and other retip kinds. My Koetsu rosewood signaturewas ''refurbished'' by Koetsu for 2000 euro. My Koetsu Blue Skywhich needed only a new stylus got an boron/Shibata comboby Axel for 500 euro. My Allaerts MC 2 got a new ''Paratrace''s... 
Benz Ebony L retip
The retip with so called ''cantilever/stylus'' combo seems to be much more easy to do then ''stylus retip only''. The first mentioned method cost twice as much. So many retippers refuse this kind of retip. Even my old friend Axel Schurholz. Howeve... 
Turntable and Rack vibration control
Thanks to Raul I learned about ''Pneumatic footers '' from Technics.I use the AT 636 version for my Technics SL 1000,mk2 (Obsidianplinth) which was provided with mediocre suspension. There iseven a bigger version for the very heavy TT's which Raul... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
We all thought that Glanz and Astatic were different ''animals''produced by different companies. Till we discovered thanks tothe Glanz thread that both carts are produced by the Japanese company Mitachi the inventor of the MF (moving flux) technol... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Whatever the ''improvement'' of mk 2 may be the cantilever/styluscombo is the same in both versions. Titanium is shine beryllium isdark. The cantilever is not tubular and is flattened (cut?) on thefront , stylus side . I have never seen such canti... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
I think that I sold my Victor X1 on logical grounds . That isto say because I assumed that Victor X1, mk.2 was ''improvedversion'' of the mk.1. The other logical consequence is that Ican't compare both versions because I only own the user manualof... 
SP-10 Mat
I first used an perfectly made arylic mat but then got advise frommy friend Lew and bought the SAEC SS 300 from (will you believethis?) from Raul. I am actually ''loaded'' with acrylic. My ASR artilleryfrom Germany (Basis Exclusive, etc) is covere... 
Tonearm microphonics
By touching the arm you are causing the so called ''ground loop''.There must be something wrong with either your phono-cableor the tonearm ground. I own + 40 carts with no hum problem at all except by my most expensive cart; the Allaerts MC 2 gold...
