Experienced
reviewers have stated unequivocally that no other cartridge in the
world can match the London Decca's head-spinning
musical realism. Another claims it sets an example for all other
cartridges (presumably, including more costly ones),
in the area of dynamics, rhythm, pacing and timing. How and
why is this cartridge different from, and possibly superior
to all the others? Is it a "moving coil" or a
"moving magnet" design? Neither! Only a lighter, thinner
shorter, magnetically active metal foil, bearing the stylus, comprises
the entire moving system . This results in lower moving mass
than either moving coil or moving magnet models.The London Decca
cartridges may be the only ones, which have no cantilever in the conventional
sense. This appears to be the underpinning of their stunning
success - it has been said that the London Decca's "reek
of musicality."

result of years of research and design, the Tri-Planars'
unique dual-pivot design offers maximum adjustability and
watch-like precision.(1)
Adjustable azimuth (2) Adjustable vertical tracking angle (3) Vertical
bearing at record height. A design which completely addresses
all three planes of tonearm geometry.The
arm creates a musical sound stage unmatched by any other. It has been
described as powerful and dynamic, solid yet expressive, delicate
and tactile. The outstanding quality of this arm, commented on time
and again, is that it is invisible, lacking the colorations that plague
so many of our competitors.The meticulously handcrafted Tri-Planar
continues to be rated among the worlds best.

| E.A.R.
is the brainchild of Tim de Paravicini, whose name has been
associated since the 1970s with electronics of the highest fidelity,
E.A.R. amplifiers are among the most accurate amplifiers ever made.
Some of these designs have been continually prized and sought by discerning
listeners for decades after their introduction. E.A.R. amplifiers
are unequalled in their ability to deliver a
pure rendition of the signal fed into them, free from the colorations
and distortions of most amplifiers. But not limiting himself to amplifiers
Tim de Paravicini has designed a new tube CD player, a magnetically
driven turntable and a field coil loudspeaker. As with all
Tim de Paravacini designs they are very innovative plus built
and finished to the highest degree.

Acoustics believe that isolation alone is not enough for
today's high performance audio products. Their designs have lead to
the development of the Isis Rack, Rollerblocks and shelves
that not only isolate but drain energy away.

| Is
accuracy and easy handling a sin? We believe no! If you are looking
for an easy to use and reasonable setup tool for adjusting
your tonearm/cartridge-combination the Feickert Protractor
is it. This template was not released to be one of the numerous available
in the market but to significantly excel the others in terms
of handling and accuracy. Even if you never ever set up a cartridge
before you will find out how easy it is using this one. In
our opinion most competitors' products are good but they all lack
either in handling or accuracy. Don't waste time and don't waste
money.
