| SAT 30K+$$ TONEARM: W O R T H T O H A V E I T ? Dear @daveyf : I posted that always exist trade offs and that the ones in a fxed headshell design are worse than in a well designed removable headshel tonearm.I agree with @halcro in that audio regards and as him I owned/own both kind of designs ... | |
| SAT 30K+$$ TONEARM: W O R T H T O H A V E I T ?

| ADC 26 BEST PRITCHARD CARTRIDGE EVER? or BEST CARTRIDGE EVER? Dear @luckyx02: Those Goldring 900 series, the Elac, AT 20SS and especially the Acutex 320 are very good performers and the humble empire 500ID too but needs a lot of hours to settle down as the Empire 1080 and I don't have the patience with this ... | |

| SAT 30K+$$ TONEARM: W O R T H T O H A V E I T ? Dear @lewm @daveyf : Agree with both of you.The SAT designer has his own merit to manufacture the tonearm and his privilege to go from 30K to today 48K in the new model.The problem there was the reviewer that from the start he did not compared ap... | |
| Colibri or Hummingbird? Dear @edgewear: The best is what you said: to have reterminated the cable with XLR connectors. Those adapters are really degrading the quality performance level of that lovely Colibri or any other cartridge.R. | |
