don´t forget that the reviewers age at exactly the same speed as their readers
heh - at 33? revolutions per minute.
Are they all 78?
that is true Tim, but they mean different things in classical to rock for example.
Since I don't use as many rock examples as classical, I can accept that. Could you give me an example so I'll understand better?

Analog Corner #304: SAT XD1 record player
Let's begin by discussing what SAT's XD1 Record Player System is not: It is not a Technics SP-10R in a sci-fiinspired plinthalthough the XD1's engine does begin life as the SP-10R's basic drive system, which is stripped down to a handful of essential components, reimagined, reengineered, and...

Why was there no comparison between non vacuum and vacuum sound of the SAT?

@Tango - are you getting one? comparisons to what you have now would be wonderful.

Wow! Michael sure does love it!
I think that is Michael's most enthusiastic, most unequivocally rave review in quite some time!
I thought it was a very well-researched, very well-written and very communicative comparative review.

He describes how to use the vacuum but not what happens to the sound with vacuum on vs off
