I can't be happyer than with the Symposium Ultra platform with couplers or Rollerblocks. Effective and makes your turntable sound so much better.Best, Jean. 
Room Treatment: Whatcha Got?
No treatment, just living room, but cleverly damped. Wooden floor, large bookshelf on one side, heavy velvet curtains on the other, big velvet sofa, heavy leather carpet, sounds much better than "dedicated" rooms I heard. Avoid absolutely stone fl... 
Kudos to speed controllers
Mark: what speed controler would you recommend for the E50 motor of the TD 124 that could be used with Lenco L75 and Garrard 301 motors ? Or should I have a dedicated motor speed controler for each turntable ? Are your models DIY or can we find fi...

Dave: ESL 57 with Mc 275 is a delight ! I would go for 57's refurbished .Best,Jean. 
QUAD ESL 2905 / 2805
In my recent travel to U.K. to collect the pair of Quad ESL 57 I bought to a seller, I listened to his ESL 2905 and the 57's sounded more detailled and musicaly involving. They where originals, just checked by Quad every 5 years. Back home I opene...

Koegz: can you tell us what you did not like about the Loricraft.Very curious.Jean. 
MONO cartridges
Pryso, my experience with Lyra Helikon Mono (LHM) is the exact opposite: great results with old mono pressings ( jazz 1953-1959) and very little difference with stereo cartridges on more recent mono reissues. When I play original old mono with LHM... 
MONO cartridges
If you have funds and quite a few mono records the Helikon Mono is a jewel. It is low output so watch with your phonopre, but the output is higher than announced in the manual. A must for old mono records.Best,Jean.
