New Whest 40 Series
Whest Audio (i.e. James Henriot) have just replaced their long standing 30 series phono stages with the newly launched 40 series. Has anyone heard either the Whest 40RDT or Whest 40RDT SE yet? Best regards, FT- Foot Tapper

New Vertere Table
Hello Johnny Neither. The centre pin that the record locates on to is a cylindrical cap that is placed on to the real spindle first, then removed once the record is in place. The principle is the same as implemented on other Vertere and Roksan turntables. As I understand it, Touraj doesn't want...- Foot Tapper

New Vertere Table
Hi Folks! A beginner here with a first post on What's Best Forum. I'm not sure when it was or will be launched in the USA, but I have just switched turntable from a Roksan Xerxes 20+ with upgrade plinth and Artemiz 2 arm to Vertere's new baby, the MG-1 with SG-1 tonearm. So, here I sit...- Foot Tapper
