Dynavector XX-2 MkII vs. Shelter 5000
Dear Mrmatt: Kuzma recomends Shelter because the Kuzma cartridges ( when Kuzma was on cartridges sale, I don't know if they still do it. ) were made by Shelter.Now and looking to your system IMHO your peamp is a lot better with a MM cartridges tha... 
2 turntables and one phono stage - Can I???
Dear Gjrad: The other issue is that both cartridges will see the same load impedance, if both cartridges performs at its best with the same load impedance that will be fine.I don't know the Joule facilities about, I mean if you can change the load...

IMHO the fun in our " hobby " must be the MUSIC enjoy and not the endless quest of tweaks.Raul. 
Tables That Feature Bearing Friction
Dear friends: I want to return a little about our analog imperfect world. It is imperfect because the " medium " is an imperfect one but the imperfections growing-up to fast on each link in the whole analog chain starting/begining with the recordi...

Dear Dertonarm: I'm thinking in an automatic solution ( like the Nakamichi one, I don't mean the same. ) but I can see that will be not only complex/expensive but with some trade-offs on the whole TT performance so the manual/mechanic one could/ca... 
Do you think you need a subwoofer?
Dear Gregadd: Yes the Aerial is very good option. Its price was a little to much for me but its quality performance is really good.MK the designer/owner of Aerial was/is the one that made the design of my ADS main speakers.Regards and enjoy the mu...

Dear friends: We are in a so imperfect home analog sound reproduction world with so low know-how that instead to use our main each day time to hear and enjoy music we are " loosing " our precious life time trying to correct that imperfect world th...

The build material subject could grow-up in complexity if we add that we must take in count that maybe we need different build materials for different TT parts and that each one of those build materials have to have a constant " behavior " under a...

Yes, I know: the Dragon and TX1000. A friend of mine in San Diego and other one here own these units.Raul.

Other subject that I would like that the commercial TT designers/builders could address and solve is to have a record " perfect center " mechanism.This out-off center record hole is a " cancer " in the analog quality performance ( due to an extrem... 
Tonearm effective mass
Doug: Yes you are right: my answer was to much plain. But what I was trying to say was that to really make a difference in the effective mass and due that the headshell is at the " farest " position from the tonearm pivot then here at the headshel...

Dear friends: IMHO the subject on speed accuracy/stability in TTs are almost addressed and solve by almost all the TT designers and manufacturers. We can take examples like Technics, Denon, Rockport, Walker, Kenwood, Basis, Pionner, SME, Monaco, S... 
Tonearm effective mass
Dear Quidity: I'm just saying that the thread question was a plain one ( almost a yes/no. ) where you can choose to answer in the same plain way ( like me ) or in more wide way like Doug, that's all, please read the question again.I know perfectly... 
Do you think you need a subwoofer?
Dear Gregadd: From the planar speakers the Maggies are one that I like it, I had the opportunity to heard he 3.6 in my system ( years ago ) due that the dealer here was a close friend of mine and in a friend's system the 20.1, very good ones.Yes, ... 
Tonearm effective mass
Dear Doug: The question speaks to add weight to the counterweight, IMHO if you add weight at any position of the counterweight the effective mass goes up against the original one ( obviously with out change in the original counterweight position. ...
