Unison Research S6 vs S9 vs Sinfonia
I am worried that the bigger models like the Sinfonia and Performance have much higher level of negative feedback and that could take the magic away, that's the reason I wanted to know if anyone has heard preludio and the higher models. I listen t... 
So I replaced the original Garrard 401 mat with an EP
I have the transfi mat and it makes the sound thin and bright 
Upcoming Technics SP-10R (100th Anniversary Model)
So, I still stand with under $10k figure for the SP10-r

The SMPS has to be thrown out, no doubt about that. A linear power supply mod from http://www.time-step.com/ is the way to go.I am also on the fence to get a direct drive TT. I was considering the SP10 mk2 and Yamaha GT-2000. SP10 was favourable s... 
Would you use an Ortofon A90 on a Jelco tonearm?
Now that we hav the retip question almost sorted, would you install an A-90 on a Jelco 750D tonearm ? 
What turntable and TONEARM brands sound best with the Denon DL103 and DL 103R? MC's
I generally like Ortofon carts. I don't have experience with SPU though. I wonder how far a modded 103r can go.  
What turntable and TONEARM brands sound best with the Denon DL103 and DL 103R? MC's
I dont have the ART-9 anymore. The DL-103r has been my reference from the day one. I use it as my fallback cartridge and also to judge the performance of other cartridges that come and go. In the stock form the 103r cannot be my main cartridge tho... 
What turntable and TONEARM brands sound best with the Denon DL103 and DL 103R? MC's
I use a Gray Research 208 tonearm with the 103r. One needs to hear what this 60 year old tonearm does that the latest tonearms Dont.  
Would you use an Ortofon A90 on a Jelco tonearm?
@lewm the A90 has a replicant 100 stylus. After it wears out could I not get it retipped with a micro ridge stylus by some retipping companies ? Am I going to lose sonically ? 
Would you use an Ortofon A90 on a Jelco tonearm?
Lewm, the ART-9 did well for me for about 2 years. Just looking for something even better in terms of resolution and refinement. How would you describe the sonic difference between your MC 7500, windfeld and A90 ? 
Any new turntable brands we should pay attention to ?
Analogueworks turntables are very good. I just heard one. It is easy to fit it and forget it.

They will price it $15k only if they want to make it a limited edition like the GAE.  
New Technics SL 1200 GAE
Ralph, have you compared the G and GAE ? Is there a clearly audible superiority in the GAE ?Secondly when you say that the tonearm is on the 1200 is superb, do you mean the one on the GAE or also the G (which has a inferior one) ? 
Upcoming Technics SP-10R (100th Anniversary Model)
In my guess SP10-R would be within $10kConsidering that they have already figured out the design for the GAE and sp10-R and both of them would share a lot, a big company like Technics would like to play the game of volumes rather than selling few ... 
Upcoming Technics SP-10R (100th Anniversary Model)
Thats a very expensive TT. Lets hope the upcoming SP10-R does it for a lower cost.
