Airtangent vs Kuzma airline
Hi. I know nada about the Kuzma but have owned 2 AirTangents. The construction quality of the 2 AT's was excellent. Performance also was excellent. Unless the documentation has changed since I last owned one, they are kinda rough. So if you are do...

With SME Model 10 is it possible to get 78RPM?
Thx Plato. That is what I thought. Given that, a SME or other highend 'table would require 2 arms to run 78s. One arm/cartridge targeted for 78s and the other for 33s and 45s. I have a bunch of what I am sure are top performances on 78s that I wis...

Transfiguration Orpheus - Has anyone tried it ?
A further update from my friend who has an Orpheus. Note that he has superb ears and I value his judgement. The comments are somewhat general but, he certainly gets his message across. "I was not expecting this kind of improvement at all with the ... 
Tracking Force Gauges
Per comments mentioned above. Agreed, it is proper to measure VTF when the arm height is the same as when the stylus is in the groove.The Clearaudio Exact gauge does have this coveted ability as the measuring platform is quite thin! As such, placi...

Transfiguration Orpheus - Has anyone tried it ?
Hi Nsgarch. Wow man, that sounds pricy. What do they do for the $850? Wonder if you have any specifics on any upgrades: what are they and their sonic benefits? Enjoy that 'deck! PS. Mine worked fine without any problems until I stored it for a few...
