| Best TT plinth material, cost no object kenDon't you just hate that:^) people who falsely advertise a product. There were so many different platter designs for the various maplenoll table. My first one (white ariadne reference) had a 30 lb platter that had been dropped and bunged up. I ... | |

I followed it with a couple of other players before getting a dual 721 which served me well for 20 plus years. My best (and intere... | |
| 9", 10" or 12" tonearms ThomAs usual, your posts are clear, articulate and to the point. We "audiophiles" love to talk about what we think or believe but often this is based on feelings and not facts. As we also know, cost or price is not always a reflection of quality b... | |
