I'm Mika.
I understand you point as imho the industry is nowadays too concentrated to invidual components and their performance instead of the system synergy and system as a whole even including the room you're doing the listening. And naturally with different tonearms, carts, cables, SUTs etc. this is even more true
But marvelous combinations you have there have to say..

A few more changes:
An S7C SUT, Shindo Cart, Schick 'A' fit arm.
Beware the lollipop of mediocrity; lick it once and you'll suck forever.

Agreed! Only the grey 'hammer'' finish 301s look good. Hate the cream-coloured 301s.

There are without doubt some cracking turntables loafing around this forum - I salute you all, you really are an inspiration and clearly show what can be achieved.
