A Copernican View of the Turntable System

A Copernican View of the Turntable System
Oh yes, who ever has experienced a well adjusted idler drive like in the EMT 927 or R 80 knows which kind of dynamics & musicality you may reach by ID. Nevertheless I also enjoy my BDs and the DD - so in principle you will reach good results w... 
Why are modern arms so ugly?
Dear Halcro, in general you are right. But the cobra tonearm is designed for usage with a floating armboard. It is part of the system. But you may use it without, of course.best @ fun only 
Why are modern arms so ugly?
Dear Geoch,yes, the armboard is floating but in a very stable way. Four magnets on the rear side of the armboard (two each) are facing four magnets mounted on two special side rests. You may adjust the distance between the magnets for getting a ha...

What is the best Reel To Reel machine ever built?
