I'm afraid you have not left your stupidity yet. It is very much still with you.
Some additional damping is required. Uberwaltz, can you please get out the grape jelly?
Looking for tonearm inspiration
Dynavector DRT XV-1s rebuilt/are tipped. Odd as it may seem, there was no tonearm with the turntable. I have yet to identify what the phono stage, but listening so far suggest a Sutherland Loco (still open to alternatives). There must be many out there that have had experience with the SME 20/12 turntable and perhaps a few that have had experience with the SME/Dynavector combination. Can you suggest a tonearm that had some magic for you with either bit of gear? Wide range of music: Rock, Jazz, Female Vocal and a bit of Opera from time to time.
