Romy:I wonder whether the above post does not reflect a niggling doubt surfacing that you might find a better tonearm after all, than your very venerable  SME 3012R. I cannot comment on how the 3012 compares with the latest iteration, the technic...

When I read the forums I think, there is a coming back from Idler wheels. You know, these units which have the maximum contact for distortion (idler direct to the bearing into the platter). The Radio stations replaced them as fast as possible when DD...

Just a short comment on the motor rumble on my particular example of EMT930: using a 40yrs old idler I could clearly hear the joyful sound of the motor when playing a test empty track (through quite efficient Stax O2 headphones, max volume on their 7...

Recently, I have become aware of a strange phenomenon after lifting the tonearm at the end of the run-out groooves. The record surface noise keeps going when the stylus is no longer in contact with the record. I am using a Garrard 301 with SME 3...

Well the marketing power can change dirt into gold, we all know that. I have no problems with manufacturers who offer "such" units. We, the customers (especially here in this Forum) are fixed on the quality of sound. Some years ago there was a meetin...

It is interesting that any conversation about a specific technology in TT instantly get converted into conversation about brands.  We were talking about idler roles and then we get embraced into thinking of Garrard vs. EMT. Perhaps it needs to be...
