Grand Prix Parabolica, and comparison to Monaco 2.0 and 3.0

[tima]

Is GP's Fuel Station immune to those issues?
I believe Emile of Taiko worked long and hard to counteract the issues of charging levels on SQ of the battery system in his Olympus server.
Not sure if Alvin has gone this far.

The Fuel Station battery is fully isolated through 80% of its charge. It will go into re-charge when the battery charge reaches 20%. You can continue playing records during a recharge and table function will not change. Don't underestimate Alvin.

I don't hear a sound quality change while my fuel station is charging...and the Monaco is playing lps...

The high precision metal arm boards are CNC machined. Coupled with the design and setup costs for that, they are expensive to make. There needs to be a certain volume (and thus demand) for GPA to make an arm board they have not made before. So you may or may not get an arm board to match your current tonearm. One-offs can be made but those may be more expensive. I have boards for my Tri-Planar, 4-Point 11" and SME 3012R.

Worth noting: Parabolica and 3.0 turntables use a different 1 bolt TT mounting design and are not interchangeable with the 6 bolt versions used in the 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0 tables.

What arm do you have?

Was just curious how the arm board situation compared to TechDAS and CSPort, which I have owned before.
