Dear Unoear: +++++ " I have happily fallen into the string-driven big Micro Seiki camp; " +++++

like you I was " there " for some years till I learned more about distortions and ditortions coming from big/weigthy TT platters MS or not with the acriklyc tweak or not and from any weigthy TT.

Obviously that you as other persons are in the learning curve about and sooner or latter you will learn too, not only from the MSs but from weigthy platters on TTs and how this " damage " the cartridge signal.

Regards and enjoy the music,

Mike L. and myself smoked the peace-pipe late last night.

Raul, I guess some distortions are more preferred than others; that may explain the many camps of TT fanatics. As it has been pointed out by others much smarter than myself, sometimes the feeling of "better" is just synonymous with "different-in-kind."

Cheers!

Dear Unoear: Yes, some one prefer some kind of distortions but I'm not talking of what we prefer or what we like but about what is good or what is wrong and IMHO those weighty platters on TTs are way wrong.

I know too what better means and I'm talking of better and not only " different kind ".

As I posted sooner or latter you will learn/discern about. Our hobby is a day by day learning excercise.

Good that you are moving your face to the DD's direction, BD (any ) can't touch DD TT designs ( everything the same:good design and good execution design. ).

With BD TT all of us what we are buying is only the higgest $$$ per metal's kilos and nothing more than that. The BD designs permit to charge big dollars to the customers only because its weight and as more weight as more $$$$ for " simple " peaces of metal : nothing more.

In a DD designs there is no " floor " to charge fro that metal's peaces.

IMHO BD TT are no more than a dinosaur a pre-historic item that the AHEE refuse to " kill " once and for ever.

That's why I think that your " feel " about the Monaco is a promise one new experience.

Regards and enjoy the music,
