Technics SP-10 Tonearm Pod instead of Plinth/Base

New ASR Basis Exclusive 2010
The version '2010' has also MM inputs [omited from 2005(?)/ 2009]. From an employee by ASR I heard that when usingbalanced in one should use RCA out. But the reasons are totechnical for me. He got this information from Scheafer.I own the 2009 vers...

AntiSkate-crooked Cantilever correlation?

AntiSkate-crooked Cantilever correlation?
I endorse the most statements made by Aptquark. But there are many guys who don't use anti-skate at all. If the lackof anti-skate causes 'cockeyed cantilevers' then,it seems to me,there will be no such persons (masochist not included). There are s...

Dear Lewm, Twain is as popular in Europa and I knew aboutthis 'Rumor-incident' but missed the connection. Anywaythe 'rumors' about the first part of my unfortunate word combination are not 'exaggerated'.BTW my favourite is hisstory about the 'unbe...
