| Upcoming Technics SP-10R (100th Anniversary Model) downunder, one of the blurbs I read when the SL1200GAE was announced mentioned that a couple of the older technicians who worked on the SP-10 Mk 2 and Mk 3 were involved in the new upgraded model. So yes, it seems likely that older talent could w... | |

| A Copernican View of the Turntable System I'll jump in to comment only on an experience with air-borne interference with my turntable. My listening room has a 5' wide alcove along one sidewall. Within that I constructed two full width shelves to place source components. This accommodate... |
