RE: The AR is a surprisingly competitive turntable

But there's the rub, often using the same cartridge hobbles one table or the other. My Thorens beats all my other tables with the Pickering carts, the Kenwoods are complete failures with the Pickerings, so comparing any of the tables with the same Pickering can be misleading.

Of all my cartridges the AR soared with the Grado Platinum, but the Kenny still beat it, and yes with the same cartridge. But, the Kenny lost out to its newer cousin the KD770D until I installed the Grace cartridge, the Grado was actually holding it back. The KD770D being what it is wasn't really happy with any of my cartridges, it was meant for more modern cartridges with realistic compliance, allowing a much greater selection of cartridges. And the KD770D is worthy of the best you can afford.
