Adult persons watching the laser spot on the wall instead of listening to the music. This hobby really become some kind of 'decadent bourgeous inclination' as Lenin would call it.

Dear Professor, Your post about styli caused me to searchfor an old nr. of the LP Magazine (German) with the story about Fritz Gyger company. Gyger senior started the company by inventing some machine(s) for the production of sapphire styli .Year ...

Hiho, According to me this is a Brinkmann TT . Probable made for Burmester himself because of the colour. However I have no idea why Burmester is so fond of white colour. I also have no idea why Dertonarm posted such a criptic answer because he mu...

Dear Professor, Very interesting lecture as one may expectfrom a Professor. But I made my premisses explicit and oneamong them was the assumption that the stylus/cantilever by412,415 and 420 were identical. This was also assumed regarding the corp...

Davide 256, 'the average stylus pressure is 1.5 gm.,etc.' I was always wondering about this 'drag issue' more in particular because of the 'vulnerable' stylus cantilever combo. But as a non-technical guy I was not brave enough to say something alt...

Dear Griffithds,'They each do something special...'. This looks to me the right answer to the wrong question: 'which is the best?' I think that even my son will understand thisanswer better than : 'I am searching for the ultimate.'Regards,

Dear Professor, There is this 'if' in logic. The first oneis: if the premise is not true than the deduced statmentsare also not true. The second is: all the premisses need tobe true. I was not aware that the 'colour of the grip' wasrelevant for my...

I only inspected my 412 boxes in order to see if there aresome 420 carts in there. Alas. The Italian may look confused but an error at their own cost is to optimistic qua expectation. So I need some kind of accumulation of thebravery to inspect th...

I need to express my (our) gratitude to Fleib and Dlaloum for their important contributions to this thread. As members we get a much better understanding about MM carts in general and the cantilevers/styli in particular. We geta kind of 'knowledge...

Dear David, I should add that according to Fleib only the styli are different by Clearaudio MM carts. So qua logic one may assume that the cheapest version (aka the Classic) has ,uh, the cheapest stylus. At this point, so to speak,my 'splandid ide...
