Hopefully such misconceptions will endure and grow which will mean that spare parts for my Connoisseur BD1 based turntable will continue to be available at bargain basement prices. After all, no self-respecting audiophile would touch such a thing. Fortunately Arnold Sugden was a designer and engineer who really understood the important fundamentals of vinyl reproduction.
