| Romy, what do you mean by "the negative curving is longer to engage"? |

The negative curving works only with very heavy clamp and it takes time/efforts to put the clamps on and to press it strongly. It makes playing records as too much ceremony. The negative curving platters do not do well without clamping. It I possible to use an insert but it defeat all purposes

In my comparisons I hear no advantages in loose discs. Needless to say I am curious to hear the Walker, although it could be pretty scary, given the ancillary equipment they all seem to use. |

I am NOT a big fan of Lloyd Walker, I do not pay a lot of attention to what he says and I genially am not happy with what he does or willing to do.
