    I can't remember whether the particular 'nude' EMT I borrowed had the caps fitted. I should think it was 6-7 years ago perhaps a bit longer. Given that, as you say, it was a Roksan development then probably not. Perhaps it did need some damping down at HF.

    I have only owned 3 TTs so an easy task.

    1. Amstrad TP12D with a MP11 cart - ugly thing but all I could afford at the time.
    2. Garrard DD130 several carts including MP11, G800, a Grado and some ATs I can't recall.
    3. 1986 to present Townshend Elite Rock moth RB250 (recently rewired by j7) carts have been Eroica high o/p, goldie 1022 & 1042 and a DL-110 so far.....

    Cheers
    Steve.

    Kit I have:
    CD player, TTs, Phono stages, Pre amps, Power amps, Integrated amps, DACs, Streamers, Speakers and a bunch of cables.

    My list started in 1976 with a Goldring G102/G800 but it did not last long because of the poor tracking and rumble.

    But my 3 faves are/were
    Trio KD1033/Ortofon FF15EII
    Thorens TD 160 / Mayware Formula 4/ Decca London GoldIII
    Linn Sondek/IttokVII/Audio Technica AT 07C

    To this day I miss the absolute brash dynamics of the Decca London and the smoothness of the AT-07c

    Looking to change my Ittok VIII /SBPS for something different

    I always wanted a black gyrodec though. Sadly I do not have a vinyl spinner at the moment. Or much vinyl either.

    Default My fav 3

    * B&O 1100 - my first ever proper deck back in '77

    * B&O 4004 lateral tracker with the 20CL cartridge. Still love to have one of these - but a real pain in the 'arris and expensive to fix when they go wrong

    * My current deck - PL71D with Ortofon Rondo Bronze
