RE: Technics SL-1200G vs Continum Caliburn /SAT Arm and test signals

With the first sample recordings, I too thought I noticed a difference in "groove noise" between one cut and the other. But I did not know which turntable was which; has he now revealed that information? More importantly, why should one turntable reveal less or more groove noise than the other? Such a finding could be due to the differences between the two different tonearms or even an artifact of not mounting the cartridge with exactly the same error margins in one case vs the other. But I find it hard to blame the turntable, per se, for a difference in groove noise.

I tried to concentrate on timing and pitch, regardless of S/N ratio. I did not hear much difference in those two parameters.
