Ortofon SPU's outdated design?
why old Telefunken(or Mullards,Valvo,etc) tubes sound better then any new made tubes? 
Ortofon SPU's outdated design?
Just to be correct..the new SPU's as Silver Meister or Shindo SPU are very flat and even sounding cartridges, as any new MC.

Denon DL-103 -- Was it a mistake?
or use step up transformer with the proper load for this gem! This is THE cartridge which was born this way! 
Are our 'test' records adequate?
...to have the "reference" records is the main pain in this hobby as you have found....It happened to me several times, that I had to pull the "seconds" out to be sure!But all is for fun!Enjoy it! 
Denon DL-103 -- Was it a mistake?
Also do not forget the Denon arms! You can find these relatively inexpensive arms and if you put the 103 on it...you got it! 
Ortofon SPU's outdated design?
I think tonearm matching for Ortofon SPU is very easy actually...It is best with Ortofon(RMA,RMG) arms or old SME and if you want even more exotic, you can use it with FR or Ikeda!

Ortofon SPU Cartridges
Hi, if that would be the case, we would not have any vinyl from 60 ties left...all would be worn out on these "heavy" cartridges..... 
Ortofon SPU Cartridges
The SPU sound is rare combination of warm,detail and musicality. If it tracks bad, you have bad arm for it....My SPU's (I have seven of these) are on Orotofn RMG309 or FR64 and all is good.... 
ProAc Tablette Ref 8 Sig vs Studio 100
I was listening to both at the dealer and I think the Ref8 are more analytical and the 100's more warm sounding. Overall these are very nice and big sounding little speakers! I would probably go with Ref8 myself......... 
Audio Tekne carbon blocks
I think normally these are used as footers...but as the similar ART/Yamamura Q blocks, these can "suck-up" vibration anywhere you put them. I would not put these on top of the transformers, as this usually kills the sound... 
MM Cart or MC Cart with a SUT?
Shindo sound is based on Ortofon/Shindo SPU sound(MM stage and SUT)....if you like other cartridges, then you have to find the right match(cartridge and phono stage), or just go with MM cartridge.
