Given that the newly formed Linn products acknowledged in their first advertisement that they were now producing what was formerly known as the Ariston RD 11 as the Linn Sondek LP 12; I thought that I’d post two photos of a very rare Ariston which has the two button power switch set-up that was on […]
Meyer Lansky writes … I posted previously regarding a rega rp1 so I can spin some old vinyl , but just realised I had this in my loft from back in the day . I can’t find much info on it but I remember it cost £349 back in ’86. It definitely needs some tlc […]
Howard Popeck asked Geoffrey Owen, the driving force behind Helius Designs if he could and indeed would find the time to explain the reality behind effective mass and – in so doing – confound the misinformation, disinformation and scientific ignorance that clouds so many discussions of this topic. As an aside and somewhat mischievously, Howard […]
Dear friends: who really needs an MM type phono cartridge?, well I will try to share/explain with you what are my experiences about and I hope too that many of you could enrich the topic/subject with your own experiences. For some years ( in this forum ) and time to time I posted that the […]
A member writes … So moving coil cartridges are superior to moving magnet are they? Well, that’s common ground, but is it true….probably not. It’s yet another hi fi myth. To keep it short (ha!) the mc tends to have better detail, and thus superior soundstaging. But, and it’s a big ‘but’, that extra detail […]
This is guaranteed to put a smile on your face. Buy yourself a turntable outer rim-weight………brand doesn’t matter. These are the metal ring-type weights intended to keep the vinyl flat at the edges just as a centre clamp or weight is intended to keep the record flat at the centre. Now use it religiously on […]

Apparently … Made a well regarded line of arms to along with the cartridges that were their main line of business. The FR-64 series is probably the most common on the second hand market, the FR-64fx with a black anodised aluminium armtube and the FR-64s wich featured a Steel alloy tube are usually considered better […]
Please note that we no longer present ANY ebay Garrard adverts here.

Gentlemen, What happened to the makers of the Grace tonearms. I recall the made more than the G-707 inc one with a bamboo arm-stem. Help. Well, this is what we found so far: “Small Japanese company made a big splash when it came out with the first oil damped tonearms in the 50’s, this page […]

The trouble with being an engineer is that one is born with a natural tendency to look at the world through critical eyes and consider how differently you might have designed the things around you had been have been given the job.
