I think the same Stitch has been bitching on the broadcast TSD's. Why test pressing analysis carts should be better than broadcasting?Anyway, I do not insist Paul, I've just asked. Indeed, looking into the modern Ikeda there seem to be something...at...

I think I remember the first FR from the mid-late 60s, and the FR7 came maybe 10 years later, so it could be pretty damned old. Wasn't this stuff from "Ikeda Sama"? Anyway, many older cartridges had/have damping materials that were not ozone-proof,...

Well, in a way it is belong here. This is just an indication of the type of the people who use high-end audio toys. It is not about damage of the Ikeda cartridge, this is less relevant subject. What I feel is relevant is the level at which they find ...

In a way you can write some positive / negative about nearly every Design out there. The Micro 5000 & 8000 are 20 years old, they have 2 weak features- a Platter which rings- no suspensionBUT, when we look at their latest units, we can see that M...
