Yeah one of the guys who diy's turntables and even linear arms said he hadn't seen a design like that before....but if it works, no reason to get rid of it, definitely as pretty as much of the stuff out there to play records

LOL (still from the 1950 film "Whirlpool" starring Gene Tierney, Richard Conte, Jose Ferrer, Charles Bickford.

No, Eric Clapton 'Slow Hand' I clean mine with soap and water and dry with a soft cloth. Poor me. Click to expand... There are plenty of decent 'home brew' ways to clean your Lp's. I would never use tap water, distilled only. As for soap, maybe a drop or two of Dawn. I remember back in my College days mixing cheap Vodka/distilled water and a couple drops of a Kodak surfactant agent. That along with cutting a 2" paint brush bristles down to an inch did the trick !

S sterling shoote Audioholic Field Marshall Oct 10, 2010 1,940 0 63 Apr 28, 2021 #1,318 I've been appraising my recently purchased A-T VM540M, as mounted to a Technics SL-1210GR, about 60 hours now on familiar LPs. Comparing and contrasting it to my Shure V15V-MR to determine if the new cart satisfies in the ways the Shure does; I am sensing, ever so slightly, that the Shure delivers a somewhat sweeter sound from stringed instruments, as well as more micro detail at low volume, while the A-T might be more forward or bolder sounding than the Shure; however, these impressions have been made using a Schitt Mani to deliver the Shure experience while a Parasound P6 is delivering the A-T experience, so my impressions might not be exclusive to cart performance. At any rate, so far, I have come away from most listening sessions with a sense that the inexpensive VM540ML is the equal of the Shure V15V-MR, delivering a tone indistinguishable from CDs as does the Shure. This is the hoped for outcome, since OEM stylus is no longer available for the Shure cart. Reactions: afterlife2 and Mikado463

Yeah I know there over 1,000 more expensive, but still. 299 for the Denon 103 that I desperately want and still expensive for me. Glad you're enjoying it though.
