I couldn't help but notice, no one commented on the Stereoplay tests. Some interesting carts on there including the Grado Sonata, AT33EV, Kisiki Blue, and Einstein is next to Lyra. The link is an entire page to the rear so rather than get sarcastic:https://www.fastaudio.com/workspace/media/downloads/pdf-auf-die-spitze-getrieben_stp_04_14_046_054.pdfI'm afraid, without David Dlaloum to steer, we're a rudderless ship. David has more important things to do. We'll just have to muddle through. I relapsed the other day. I wonder if the compulsion to smoke ever goes away. I've heard stories of people smoking after being clean for 10 years or more. Most people don't realize that smoking is the strongest addiction in the arsenal of substances. At the methadone clinic they say it's one day at a time, but with smoking it's one hour at a time. I kid you not. I think it's a good idea to discourage smoking, but raising the price to a million dollars a pack to fund incompetence, is punishing the victims. It's legal to smoke and the first cigg is cheap ($0.50), and once you're hooked it leaves you broke and in poor health. Think about it. Our governments are dope dealers profiting on the misery of victims. neo
Hi Guy13,How's your arm(s)? I thought about your Rega when the ground connection broke inside one of my arms. I remember your tech welded it on and that's right for aluminum. It's a tricky weld. Most dudes who weld can't weld aluminum. Sorry if I was harsh after DIY dude implied I called him a liar. It's natural when you get angry to stop reading and he lost it...... anyway, hope you didn't think I was taking it out on you.Sometimes I forget these forums go Worldwide. I usually don't think about that. Most US citizens don't understand our Constitution and Bill of Rights. These are the greatest documents of their kind ever conceived in the History of the World, a self perpetuating blueprint for freedom. Problem is, a blueprint must be followed, to work. Checks and balances - Legislative branch passes/changes laws. Executive branch executes laws, oversees administrative/diplomatic duties. Judicial branch decides on matters of law. Each branch balances out the other branches. Like a tree, each branch should be healthy for the tree to be balanced and not lean over or fall down in a storm. The Supreme Court does not legislate or pass laws. It's their job to decided if a law conforms to the provisions of the Constitution, if it's fair or reasonable under those provisions, or not. If not, the court sends it back and says, try again. The Executive branch can not change laws. The duty of the President is to carry out the laws passed by Congress and to oversee foreign policy. The problem is, two branches are trying to take power from one of the other branches. The Supreme Court is "legislating from the bench" IMO, that means exceeding their authority and going beyond ruling on constitutionality, and changing law.The President is also exceeding his authority IMO. His interpretation, and execution of the laws passed by Congress far exceed their intent. This does not mean I am for or against a particular policy. Hey Guy13, check this - turn it up to 11:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0968f0VWvd8neo
It shouldn't be too long before I can start my new table build. I want to try to duplicate the Kenwood anti-resonance material as used on the L07d, KD500, etc. but on a Halcro style pod. This material requires lots of ventilation when drying and it's still too cold for that. I might take some photos as I go and hopefully it won't jinx me. The table is a newly acquired JVC/Victor TT81 motor unit. I have a 120V AC to 100V step down from Amazon and I'm ready to get started. I also now have a Victor 7045 arm, and I'm thinking of using the Unitrac or Sonus with it, on another pod. If I set up a third pod for a mono cart maybe I could sell a few tables, but it's always hard for me to sell a piece of my collection even if it's not the greatest or best. Truth be told, I'm not an audiophile. This is a hobby for me and I'm into music, so there it is, a vehicle, a means to an end not a business anymore and hopefully not an obsession. Some of you might remember our talking about Raul on Audiogon forum. This is the guy who started the MM/MI thread on Agon. Some of this is funny, but the guy is so stupid it's pathetic. He obviously has two authors for his technical questions and..... My member name on there is fleib.https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/tonearm-recommendation

I've got a new friend. She's a little whacky, but .....See ya on the flip side,neo

Did I hear KD-650 ? ? ? Will the KD650 owner please pick up your table 2 or 3 times and bench it 25 times? Nice table A. W. Take a KD 500 and a Denon 1250 for it??What do you want a big ol table like that for? Slim down - get the modern look. I'll find a cute little B&O and throw it in. That's 3 for 1. You could have a table for every spare room and one for mono? Speakin of finance, what happens in times of war? The gov sells war bonds and borrows money to finance the war, like in WWII. Gov needs to borrow money for F35's and Patriot III missiles. Hey, you see that rail gun? Google that bad boy. It's a magnetic missile launcher with no fuel - just magnetic repulsion - can hit a moving target over 100 miles away. Uses satellite targeting or something. That seems like the weapon of choice for domestic violence. Ladies, have one of these towed to your house. He'll never know what hit him. neo
The 650 has been in house since 1980 , plan on getting it armed up and singing this year ...As to magnetic weaponry, supposedly that was what Iverson was working on when he went missing some decades ago , leaving all his Eagle amp fans in a bind ...
You had me googling those people to figure out where you were headed.Sorry about the previous nag. They say ex-smokers are the worst and it is true. I know I could care less about whatever came out their mouths when I was smoking and here I am. I know it is hard and I hope I can avoid that dance again. Weunderstand how hard it is and I didn't mean to harp.
Just wondering, you used the royal "we". You can explain if you wish. Sometimes it hard to know someone's agenda. Everyone's trying to prove something, which might be good if you're Stephen Hawking, but most people aren't that cute and lovable and I mean that in the sense of his practical nurse. No stupid jokes please.
I used "we" because any smoker that has successfully quit knows how hard it is. Believing in God is something I regularly take for granted. To not have someone so big and powerful who serves us, the selfish human, fixing and forgiving our mistakes would make me lose all hope. Only God can save man from himself. Unless you are praying in a group, silent prayers are best. Remember that it is not about religion, it is your personal relationship with God.
I see people walking their dogs with plastic bags and my cat requires 2 litter box because I don't have the time to train her to use the toilet. She's picky too, no regular cat food, no sir, she has to have fancy stuff in tiny portion containers, but she knows best cause animals can smell when something's not right. I'm almost certain my diagnosis of round worm was correct and it was a lot of fun reaching that conclusion because BC can now retain her nourishment. Did I mention BC's full name? It's Baby Cat, named by my Ex wife because she was so small when we adopted her. I often wonder if mankind has dominion over animals or if it's the other way around. Do I own BC or does she own me? I serve her. Seems so clear cut, but the animal police know best? Give me a break. That's the petal between the clutch and petrol control. I like my steering on the left and the Brits have it backwards. It's not my fault Range Rovers and Jags are highly overrated. The snoot factor is a little high around here. You don't know who you're talking to. I'm the guy who did 165 on the Jersey pike at 3AM or thereabouts. Yea yea yea _ _ yeaah. A little magic with a small block V8 in a chevy trans am special. Oh yeah. . . . You don't know what I got.neoPS - forgot to mention there's a magnetic part and other parts the same as a phono cartridge. Start with the coil(s). Can someone tell me?
