    Dave,

    How do you like your Neglex phono cable? Any comparisons you've made to others?

    Only slightly not as good as silver/ptfe, but better than the low cost SME ones.

    Hi Pete

    I supply the neglex cables see www.soundhifi.com/jelco.html

    As for the silver/ptfe, you will have to wait, but expect £500++

    Regards

    A Technics DD (SL1200 or SP10 mkII) for example, will increase torque under load to maintain rotational speed.

    Either will work if well implemented.

    Indeed. I think though that the D/D solution is more purposeful and elegant

    It's a well-known phrase amongst the cognoscenti, and of course entirely tongue-in-cheek
