RE: Tweeter difference problem with 3.3Rs and more

I am very much a fan of the Grand romantic tradition from Beethoven to Prokofiev, with a particular weakness for Russian romanticism. The music pieces are big and dramatic, the chamber music is just a mini symphony- big music in a small setting. And that is how I got an OC9. It was the only low cost MC to make it through the beginning of Rachmaninov's 1st piano concerto.

I actually could have tried some organ music too, some Reger maybe.

Actually, if you have some organ music on LP do go ahead and see what it is like with the Technics. I would also suggest you give a try to your Ittok with outriggers at the vertical bearing (they would be perpendicular to the arm wand) this should produce a high horizontal torque and help stop the cantilever from moving the arm sideways (outside of normal advancement of the cartridge). I don't remember where I read about these and I am too tired to google it and go over the search results. The reasoning is sound, and should help with tracking. The Origin Live knife edge bearing arms are built around this idea.

I have a test LP buried somewhere. I have not found it in at least two years. I keep thinking that it is near the odd records that don't quite belong to any category but it just isn't. I should just go and get a new one.

I have not read up on TDP's bio, thanks for the URLs, but I remember EAR Yoshino items popping up along with Audio Innovation's shiny tube stuff through the mid 80s along with the appearance of Roksan and Pink Triangle. I thought it was the tube electronics that established him then.

I absolutely loved the MF A1 and never knew TDP was involved. I always thought it was Michaelson who made the effort to transition from tubes to class A frying pans. His greatest achievement was to make op-amp based products that actually sound good.

You have peaked my curiosity with the 640P but it keeps reminding me of Rotel stuff. Competent and smart and not quite up to the job. The 840C CD player/DAC - now that was impressive. Hits way beyond its price point.
