Are there other Artisan Fidelity TT owners aorund?
Audiofun.As before, if this is my work, then clearly something has gone seriously wrong. There is no "plethora of oil slathered around" in my upgrade. Where it is applied, it is done so for sound, pun intended, reasons.There is NO oil applied to t...

Audiofun You raise a valid point in asking what my upgrade actually entails. Prospective customers need this information. You also accuse me of "straw man arguments", something I cannot let slide.Hopefully I can address both of your points at once...

Audiofun"Matsushita had literally tens of millions of dollars at their disposal when they designed the SP10/MK2/MK3..."I absolutely agree, they did. Why then is the excellent Artisan Fidelity plinth an improvement over the original Matsushita desi...

Audiofun and Dover.Firstly I will leave it to the growing number of industry leaders who are using my upgrade in their MK2 and Mk3 motors, to attest to the efficacy of my work. These audio manufacturers are using my worked motors as their analogue...

Lew.You may be onto something with the multi-prong plugs. It is likely that the individual male and female pins are crimped. Over time with dissimilar metals, wire and pin, along with a bit of humidity, electrolysis is possible/probable. I have wi...

Lew.Yes the SP10s are DC motors. Maybe the confusion arose when I said that they are 3 phase. The supply voltage does not swing across zero. cheers.
