3 New UBER Decks - Is this Turntable's SwanSong? 🦢

Old cartridges you and I agree on, and I admire your stamina in continuing to repeat this message over and over again on this Forum.
I’ve long ago given up on offering advice to people who essentially don’t want it.....🤭
But the message has obviously gotten out.
When I first began buying old cartridges on EBay 15 years ago.....good examples cost $200-$300.
Today those same cartridges are regularly going for $500-$1,000 so hundreds of audiophiles have gotten the message....even if most of them might be in Japan 😛

Haha, gotcha :))

And don’t forget ’old’ tonearms......
People are conditioned to think that ’modern’ is better and that ’progress and technology’ continually improve things
It’s true for many things like cars and computers but for traditional, well-understood crafts like watchmaking and analogue HiFi equipment, it ain’t necessarily so.

Finally, I decided to upload the gallery of my modern and vintage components in my virtual system page, If they will not limit me technically there must be tons of pictures showing the evolution of my system. I upload pictures everyday. I want to show people that vintage high-end stuff is cool in a combination with modern analog gear.

I do not "not read reviews" or "ignore interesting writings" - I am saying you should take them as guides only, not gospel.
I am not being harsh on Mikey, I'm 61 - I know my hearing is good - 18khz at my last hearing test, and reasonably flat, in other words no sign of hearing damage - but I know that my set up skills take a lot longer than 20 years ago and I need natural light to do it accurately. I dont expect to be the same at Mikey's age.
Yes, if you follow someones writings you get a grasp of their preferences, but you still dont know what they are hearing. 
I tend to check the reference systems as well to triangulate their opinions. For example, if a reviewer is using gear that I've heard and dislike, then I put less weight on their opinion as it relates to potential purchase decisions for my own system.
I enjoy Fremers writing and I know from my own knowledge of the gear he uses that I am familiar with that he is pretty reliable.
Art Dudley I enjoy reading, but cant stand Devore Orangutangs, SPU's and vintage arms that sound thick and turgid.
HP was great up until he lost interest around the time his boyfriend did a runner, the fire at Seacliff, and the advent of digital.
Robert Greene was a great reviewer.
And yes I enjoy Arthur  Salvatores writing.
Martin Colloms excellent, Ken Kesler overrated - he gets enthused about anything.

I have owned very nice digital systems and currently own a very nice vinyl system. I love both formats. You can check more boxes with digital. This still comes down to personal preference.  What do you like? Regardless of all of the technical talk and measurements; what brings out emotions (goose bumps) when listening??? 

For me, I still prefer analogue. My vinyl rig sounds exceptional... 

Dear friends : @dover  said: "   what you want is stability..." and he is totally rigth because the most important characteristic in a TT is speed stability.

Btw, that his Final TT " slaughtered " all those DD TTs is just his opinion. It's like talk with a tube lover about SS electronics, obviously that for him tubes " slaughtered " SS alternative.

He said too:  ""  My gut feel with historical top end DD's is that error correction servos, like digital, are doing the damage. ""

Obviously that's a " feeling " and here we have to remember that all the record cutting machines motors ( Technics between them ) used servo control. So if this servo correction is the problem why is not " reflected " in our LPs during play. 
I own and owned DD/BD and I can remember to identify that  "  DD's sound thin ...."
I think that's all about the whole room/system performance and not because the DD servo. servo.

Here 2 different interviews to MF:

R.

Also, to the argument about servo devices and their effect on sound quality, most upper end belt drive turntables these days employ some sort of mechanism that senses platter speed and feeds back to the motor for speed correction. Why is this harmless with belt drive turntables and yet an Achilles’ heel for direct drive turntables? Of course, I do not know whether Dover’s turntable uses such a speed correction device.
