What makes a good tonearm?
If you're low on cash and have moderately skilled hands, buy a used (meaning cheap and old) Rega Planar 3, and rebuild it; plus, do all the tweeks, thereby turning it to the equivalent of the "Sota Saphire". You also get the tone arm with the TT,... 
What makes tape sound better than vinyl ?
As I stated Inna, Technics are easy to work on, and I haven't found a better company to work with. I began rebuilding mine immediately after I bought it: Black Gate Capacitors, transistors, everything that was rubber got replaced, and I also orde...
