Is elliptical the best stylus profile
I do not think my set up skills are that bad, I just think certain stylus profile do no track certain records very well.  micro ridge was the profile that I was thinking of originally.  The shibata looks interesting.

I have an elliptical stylus and it is dead quiet, tracks amazing on older records.  It just seems as though it gives better performance.  Line contact is a pita to set up and tracks terrible on old records, but if your records are in very god cond... 
Where are Moerch arms sold?
that sounds like a nightmare scenario.  and I was thinking of one in my future 
Tri-Planar Vll "SE Upgrade"
From my experiences, I would actually believe nandric's comments as many newer arms just do not seem to track as well as the higher mass arms for some reason.  I have heard it myself.  I have heard medium mass arms mistrack many records and then h...

very true

That may be true as I have not heard older MM carts in a long time.  I heard a grado not too long ago.  not sure which one.  It may have been the top of the line grado. 
Amazon Reference w/Moerch Tonearm any reviews?
Thanks

The glider is an honest cartridge.  Pretty neutral for a Benz.  Not warm.  The thing it does well is the subtle delicacies.  for the price of one, I have not heard anything in the price range doing what it does.  However, imo, lewm is right that i...

lewn, I agree with you, but the glider is probably closer to the LOMC than many cartridges.  If one can swing the better LOMC carts, all the more power to them.

everstarMC I have have heard in that 500/1200 range have been more analytical, less body and less musical. They might have a little sharper highs and a bit more "air". I have heard of nightmare scenarios with retips.  that odes not mean that retip...

He retipped my Glider a few years ago.  It sounded better than when I received it from benz.  lol 
Needle Clinic
He does great work, no doubt 
aluminum platter vs Acrylic not what I thought
I am hating to give my friend his arm back.  The new JMW 9 is a very good arm.  Worth of higher end carts without a doubt.  i cannot imagine what the original scout with the acrylic platter and the new JMW 9 would sound like with a RUBY Z.  Heaven...
