| Can anyone compare The Benz Lp vs. the LpS I'm sorry I can't comment on the sound differences between the two cartridges. I would mention to keep in mind that the LPS weighes quite a lot more than the Ebony Lp. Make sure your arm can handle the extra weight. | |

Loading is completely adjustable by simply plugging resistors in the back panel... | |

| How is it ? that a tuner smokes the table ??? I have a Mac MR67 tubed tuner that when listening to classical music or jazz via the public radio station, it simply blows away my digital front end. But as nice as it is, it doesn't come close to my analog set up. | |

| DC motors and outboard power supplies... Hi Dan ed,"No_regrets, how do you get the controller to work properly again after one of these slow down episodes?"I shut the supply down, pour myself a drink to calm my frustrations, and after a period of time, sometimes a couple of hours later o... | |
| DC motors and outboard power supplies... Hi Raul,Thank you so much for your suggestion about the variable pots. To be honest, I never thought about them going out of spec. That's a great idea. I'm not sure if I have the problem in 45 speed as I don't often listen to 45's as I do the 33's... | |
