Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927?
Lohanimal,thanks for your assessment of my page. Agree that people have a different listening approach or let`s say preferences. Among many of my friends are enjoying vintage systems. They do not care about the sometimes missing bass which is ok w...

Nandric,Affording is the one thing, but what you make out of the components is the other. All Turntables owned by me - good! We may agree on this, but pls. look on my page...BestE.

Peter, I have seen the original Denon 308 "in live". Just a very impressive instrument, full of electronics - which was part of the time then. Your integration of the DD motor in your new chassis is a good effort, only the tonearms wouldn`t be my ... 
A Copernican View of the Turntable System
Dear Halcro,what I learned is that taking an active isolation vibration platform, Herzan or Accurion, the latter one is not really cheap, may establish an even less nervous and more relaxed sound stage. As I showed on my blog it is quite an invest...

Dear Nandric,I do not listen to classical music. I am sorry that I can't help you on that. The FR and Ikeda carts are good. Instead of going for another Ikeda I would go for the Palladian or the ART 1000.

Ha ha Nandric, I know exactely how many carts I have. When I reach 100 this year  I will tell you. Nevertheless the number is not important. It makes also no sense to classify favourites from 1 to 10 or so. I sometimes (!) forget certain carts and...

Dear Nandric,As promised i would like to tell you about my impressions of a tweaking gear Fremer/Deutsch had succesfully tested on carts, the Synergistic PHTs. I expected a kind of joker effect.Although I realized a subtle difference it wasn’t tha...

Dear Stingreen,I have compared the AT ART 1000 with the Atlas. 
The Palladian-A step beyond
Dear Downunder,Audio Technica designed with the ART 1000 a wonderful transponder producing a stable, warm and lush sound. It is voluminous, well-tempered, harmonious and comes with a good resolution. Regarding the three-dimensionality is does not ...

Dear Nandric,The Victor MC1, being the predecessor of my L-1000 Laboratory, is a fine cart too. I have never heard the X-1 II. I cannot display pictures here of the ART 1000 but you may see it on my site. Fremer did some explanations on a bigger m...

Dear Nandric,These were the good old days, the beginning of the ninties last century. We had no internet! The Minidisc had just arrived. I was happy to experience that period at the lower level of the Sony Center building in Tokyo when you went ou...

Dear Raul,I discovered AT during my business time in Japan and therefore had a different access as most audiophiles in Europe. I do not know why they only covered the US market besides of their home market and neglected Europe. You were lucky in t...

Dear Nandric,Sorry for confusing. I would like to tell you who is first and who is second but I believe the moderators will not like it. Just tried but it was refused. You may know that this platform is not allowing carrying jokes, especially when... 
The Palladian-A step beyond
Hi khumalo,I am listening to the ART 1000 by the EMT JPA 66, not by the AA as the AA phono just arrived at me for testing and I always prefer to test carts with my well known lines. I will tell you when I got time for the AA. 
The Palladian-A step beyond
Dear Nandric,I know. It's about a tuning issue. Very special but from this world.I need to explain it, nevertheless I am just studying and experimenting. So may I ask you to be patient for one more week. I will then be ready to present my results....
