Most interesting, Barry - and thank you for the very useful information. I'm shortly about to go out for dinner with Del, so will comment later
Marco.
P.S I bloody well knew the EMT used Alnicos - I can hear their effect a mile away!

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

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.

* 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
