Thanks Albert, I appreciate the response and sent Bill an email.
I didnt notice if it was already mentioned, but did replacing the original Japanese chips in your MKIII do anything for sonic improvement?
Also, Im considering a dual tonearm setup and wondering if theres additional tonearm/cartridge combinations you'd recommend. I dont know the feasibility of having you make a custom plinth, or whether adding a second arm would affect system dynamics, but thought Id throw it all into the mix and ask.
