Dynavector DV 507 MKII
Dear Audiofeil: Yes it is but any one can use it as main counterweight like in any static balance tonearm: you set to 0(cero ) the VTF dial and aply the VTF through the ( a,b,c ) sub-weight, that's all. IMHO works really fine, you can/could try it...

Opinions on Semi or Automatic Turntables
Dear Frontier1: Denon DP-100M. Of course that you could find it second hand. If you buy it ( some time ) this unit can/could be a very good alternative or to " live " at the same " level performance " to your Brinkman.Regards and enjoy the music.R...
