| Sonus Faber Finish Maintenace ..depends how the wood is finished. I have upgraded Vandersteens with a polymer finish...Vandersteen says an occasional light spray of Pledge. | |

| What have I done to my cart? Consider this is a lesson to set the turntable correctly. My lift is alway up when it isn't played as insurance that things like this don't happen. Anyway.. In my experience a straight drop is usually a non event...cartridges are built rugged t... | |
