Hi ketchup,Most of my experience was with Magnum Dynalab, however, I recently saw a Sequerra for sale.  Don't remember where but it would have been A'gon, Audiomart or EBay.   It is supposed to the best tuner ever made.vpi

You might want to see if VAS (Steven Leung) can repair it.  The thread immediately above this one is all about Steve and very positive.

Ketchup,I briefly considered putting the ET-2 on the Garrard but considering the obscene amount I paid for the plinth I quickly decided against drilling more holes.  I'll eventually be putting the Delos back on the Garrard and I was never satisfie...

@ct0517 Hi Chris,My Denon is the M version.  From my reading I believe it did not have a conical stylus but a line contact on a boron cantilever.  I'm pretty sure my Denon has been retipped, including cantilever because the chap I bought it from s... 
Recommend an MC Cartridge for my TT15S1 and...
Could not disagree more strenuously with the quote from Romy the Cat. I’m running a Denon DL-103M on a refurbished Garrard 301 with Ortophon T-110 arm into an Audio Research PH-3 then a CAT Sl-1. While it is not the equal of my Van den Hul Black B... 
Denon DL304
I recently acquired a Denon DL103m.  If you have a preamp or phono stage that has enough gain for this cartridge it will give cartridges costing 4 figures a run for their money.  I just love it.  Unfortunately, it is long out of production and onl...

Wow, has it bee 6 Months?  I hope that's because is thrilled and nor board with their systems.  @ct0517 Are you iced in yet?   This fall I acquired a Denon DL 103 M. Truly performs way above its class.  No, it's not better that the Van den Hul or ... 
Technics Turntables...really???
@tonykay Thank you for your P.S.  
Speakers for aging audiophiles - What's with today bass emphasis ?
I must join those who have spoken of speaker placement.  At ten inches from your front wall bass is going to be overemphasized and you will lose most of the depth in the soundstage. Images will also be smeared by the wave coming off that front wal... 
Best preamps for phonostage performance?
Just about any version of the CAT SL-1 has a great phono stage but they only have unbalanced connections and need A cartridge with at least .03 output unless you add a SUT. 
Your Nominations: Top Phono Stages under $1,000
Must give a 3rd to an ARC PH-3.  I recently acquired one here on Audiogon for just over $500, mint condition with new tubes.  Yes, it is not easily adjustable (load and gain) but at this price it is a great phono stage. 
Why is Oppo stopping products.
@prpixel  Wow, impressive! But I'll keep tweeking my vinyl, thanks.   
Why is Oppo stopping products.
I've owned 3 Oppo players over the years.  Like many of the posters here, when I upgraded the Oppo in my music only system, I'd move the older model to my HT system.  (The two systems are completely separate.). I currently run a BDP 83 in the vide...
