| What innovative, unconventional cartridge designs can you recommend? "effective mass of the stylus is reduced because it does not have to swing magnets, iron, or coils, which should reduce the sidewall pressure." Why is boron desired/needed?

| What innovative, unconventional cartridge designs can you recommend? you are correct, I should have said, for PIVOTED arms. hopefully everyone knows there is no inner skate, thus no anti-skate needed for linear tracking arms, one of the primary advantages, as well as the angle of the stylus is straight/tangential ... | |

| Turntable Placement in Relation to Speakers IF you mean it is on the side wall now, yes, move it between the speakers, it should be better. Then see my other comments above. Even though your floor is concrete, you have air-borne vibrations from those speakers that would be less problematic... | |
| Turntable Placement in Relation to Speakers My TT is between my speakers. luckily you have no rear or side ports. you could try these, under both your speakers and your turntable, see if anything improves, that will tell you something. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0F5QQSHC7/ref=sspa_d... | |
