I believe one has two springs and the other has only one. I think the Edisonic has the spring only on the needle bar and the Dance has one on the diaphragm as well, hence the bolt-on neck.

As near as i can tell, it's just the bolt-on neck...but does the little spring have different characteristics? is there anything else? do they sound appreciably different when equally restored? thanks for anything you can offer... -- peter _______________________________________________ Phono-L mailing list http://phono-l.oldcrank.org
