    here is the original text - it came from an old thread in World Audio Designs forum from 2006 (used to be the DIY arm of Hifi World Magazine in the UK) - here it is:

    its not a very long thread, worth reading it and all the replies/conversation

    I'm not convinced the turntable needs a Unipivot but it would be cool to have one on it.

    I suspect a Mayware Formula 4 might be decent on the SR-370, but the 774 is guaranteed to be and is far more versatile.

    looks also come into play with me to a point and some cartridges just look daft mounted on that tiny brick like headstock.

    Did you have them on a Toshiba, Jamie? I can't remember what TY it was you had.

    I prefered the Mission to the Alphasson and felt a mistake was made when I sold my 774 in favour of the Alphasson.

    That was just my feeling at the time.

    I didn't mention the Alphason. I wouldn't have made any comparison as I've not used one.
