| VdH cartridge on heavier tonearm First o all to use provided calculator I need to confirm that static compliance at 35 micron/Nm given in Frog specs transtale into 17.5 micron/Nm dynamic compliance @ 10Hz. If this is true the calculated resonant frequency is 6.98Hz so at the low... | |
| Solid core OFC vs stranded OCC copper Why is my feeling that cable geometry, quality and treatment of wire, insulation and sheath materials matter the most. Also i would prefer to use solid core in a tubed system with horns and stranded on everything else. OCC, CCC, DUCC wires are def... | |
| Is there anything better than live recordings? I much prefer studio rock recordings to most live ones.

| What resistors has Kondo used? How many? I have my doubts looking the internal construction. Maybe used same ones in early products but not today. Silver lead resistors, and 3 types of metalized film resistors, who knows, and why get something out of Japan. | |
| Which turntable to keep? If no sentimental value for either, sell both and upgrade. If should keep one that could be Dual, better player and easier to find spares if needed. | |
| Relative Importance of Analog Components Maybe i am old school but turntable/arm are the top of my list. Cartridge could be the last one, as even a modest mm would have a better chance to sing on a better platform than a top cartridge mounted on a much lesser turntable/arm combo. My curr... | |
