Fellow frankensurgeons. After the Shibata has been sedated do you prefer a hot knife over the snips to de-wing the unit? Having never done this before with an LP Gear Shibata en-route and having read of both forms of surgery I am wondering the bes...

Comrades Don/Nandric/Dover, let's just say for the sake of sanity and this retort that the CA V-Wood Ebony is at the top of the MM/MI cartridge heap, or number one in the pile. I have to admit it does not rotate off of my turntable very often! And...

What brand did you leave Rega for?
Way back in the day I sold my Rega Cherry P-9, some other gear and funded a SOTA TT with Vacum Platter and seismic platform suspension along with the best arm I could muster. A top notch front end was a priority. The difference was amazing! That w...

Having recently aquired a titaniaum based cantilever and knowing full well aluminum cantilevers that are off center can be tweeked just once back to the factory specs. I am wondering about the viability of attempting this with titanium? Does titan...

Comrade Don, when looking for the compliance screw some are painted over. The unit I looked at had white paint on it. If you carefully scrape away the paint the screw-head is revealed.

Correction, that is Rega R-100
