Derek Whittington, proprietor of Sound Advice in Loughborough, doyen of the Flatter Earth and record reviewer for the infamous Flat Response magazine once explained to me his theory of arm termination which is as good as any I have heard. Derek suggested that most arms tend to fall into either of two types:. Derek's theory was intended to explain why the Rega sounds great on turntables like the Pink Triangle, but poor on a Linn, and why Linn arms sound great on Linn turntables but not on rigid subchasses like the Michell.

Hence the Ittok's nickname "tictok" outside Linnie's circles due to its tinkly qualities on turntables other than the LP Preservation of vertical modulation through vertical rigidity would explain the breadth of soundstage on the Michell Gyrodecs in contrast to the LP The Orbe is Michell's own top-of-the-range lp spinner so the Tecno Arm gets the best chance to perform. It's a lot easier on the Michell than the Rega, but I haven't heard the mythical "everything snaps into focus" moment on any occasion, even when a VTA obsessive was trying to prove something to me by adjusting his SME V on the fly on g vinyl.

Despite riding the Orbe, the Tecno Arm doesn't get an easy start. My Cartridge Man rebuilt Decca London has all the structural integrity of damp tissue paper origami, resonates like a corrugated iron shack in a hailstorm, and dumps spurious energy into arms like a road drill.

In the s when this Decca was born, someone I believe it was Jean Walton, a noted pickup expert of the day described a cartridge tracking record groove modulations as like a Model T being driven at speed over a rough track. If something can rattle, it will. The stylus plops into the run-in groove with characteristic Decca London handling noise and Then "Vicious" kicks in.

I have heard various Decca Londons in various arms over the years. Decca cartridges are a lethal test of arms as they display bizarre compliance modes and numerous structural resonances that average arms simply fail to control.

Side 1 of Transformer is just one of those great sides where every track would be the outstanding track on anybody else's album Then the Michell plays its trump card.

Bass, eh?
