| Audio Icon/Idol - Who would you like to meet? No problem meeting me, just go to CES and come along with us to dinner. Some of these get together's wind up with 15 or 20 people at a table and we have a blast. | |
| Albert Porter's Lenco 4yanx, I hope mine is not the one you're referred to as "the butchered Lenco." I thought I did a pretty darn good job on it. | |
| Albert Porter's Lenco That's pretty funny Doug. | |
| Walker Diamond arm I have one on order but they are in short supply. I'll be surprised if I get mine in the first quarter of 2007. | |
| Anybody still using soft rubber isolation devices? I have 23 McCormack "Mod Squad" feet in my system, mostly under equipment or one support platform. I have another 12 or so Iso-bearings (soft ball design in Delrin cup) that support my Aesthetix Io.No hard feet under anything except turntable stan... | |
| Cartridge alignment - Goldmund T5 tangential arm ? Man, it would be a shame to tear that system down. There is great value in music and the enjoyment it brings to one's life. None of us know how long we have. ItÂ’s possible that the joy this hobby brings could extend your life, just like pets, fami... | |

| Please help me buy an iPod Agree with both posters above, if this not a Christmas gift and you're not in a rush, you can make your iPod buy at Ebay. I bought a black 30 GB iPod video with cradle, earphones and all accessories for $151.00. The seller seems to have an unlimit... | |
| Cartridge alignment - Goldmund T5 tangential arm ? Van den Hul, Ortofon and Wally tractor all make mirrored alignment tools with center line indicated. For tangential arms like yours, overhang is achieved when the stylus is set exactly on "that" line all the way across the record.The mirror surfac... | |

| Re Issue vs Re Re Issue Tony would often be at a French Bistro a block away from where i worked. Sometimes in the afternoon you could hear him and Bill at the piano bar for the price of a drink. Good grief! I'm jealous.A perfect example of some of the benefit of living i... | |
