Personal turntable/cartridge evolution

I now use the Magic Diamond cartridge(purchased from freakyvynil.I guess he is the main man for this cartridge).The best cartridge I ever heard.This cartridge will let you see what the microphone sees.It will tell you if the recording is lean or fat or in the middle.I have listened to a few master tapes during my time working at EAR(UK)and the Magicdiamond reminded me of that.Extremely detailed with superb balance and easy to listen to.You will need a state of the art phonostage and turntable to hear(see)what it can do.

I also have 248,495 miles on my 1988 BMW 325i !!
I still use my beautiful black AT&T rotary phone
I still use my 1973 Panasonic AM/FM "digital" clock radio. The radio is dead, but the clock is a machine!

I drive everything until the wheels fall off and burn. Thinking about a VPI Scoutmaster.
