    Default Knife Edge

    Anyone used this seller. Is it me or do those countersinks look a bit wobbly?

    those bearings look good , is there any audible advantage over the standard plastic one?


    I prefer a tone arm 5 pin plug to RCAs on the bottom of the arm soI made my own with a bit of alu plate

    I doubt it tbh, i never take a blind bit of notice to what other claim. It's just that the version of the S2, Improved i have has that flimsy plastic arm cue guide moulded to the Knife Edge. I just need to fit an earlier version without it..
    Regarding the base connector conversion i would prefer to fit a lagit SME item.
