Hi Raul,
How could our paths not cross again. I feel as though you are Obe Wan Kanobe, pardon my spelling, from Star Wars, and I'm the kid dreaming to be a Jedai warrior.
It has been months and thousands of dollars since I thought it would be fun to build a table rather than buying one. I hope it will be done by Christmas. I've had trouble with my Audiogon thread postings pertaining my table project. When it is resolved, I should have some good pictures up showing just how much a person can have his dreams control his reality.
I've thought about the matching of the arms to the cartridges, but never let my choices of either determine what I would purchase. I guess the moment of truth is at hand.
I'm not the type that will round robin the combinations to see what what might sound the best. I think that a concenses of the best combinations will be what I settle on. I never chose the arms and cartridges as synergistic pairs. I just wanted 3 very different arms and cartridges in the hopes that I may be able to get the best of 3 worlds.
I am looking forward to hearing the difference from one cartridge to another , while having all 3 playing the same record on the same table. I just need to know that I have maximized the potential of each cartridge by pairing it in the most appropriate arm.
As I mentioned in a previous thread, I know of nobody on Audiogon who has more arms and cartridges than fingers and toes than Raul. I appreciate your suggestions; I have Wally Tractors for all 3 arms.
I know you enjoy the music, Ken
