| It was 50 years ago today.... So the last the Beatles played was on a rooftop. Did not know that.So that means the ending of Across the Universe, singing All You Need is Love from the roof top, that was yet another homage. Good one. | |
| Should I upgrade my system while losing my hearing? Same deal here artemus. You got a few years on me but only a few. Same deal. In fact I'll do ya one better, I wandered down that maudlin path so far three whole years went by where I never once played a record but only watched movies. Because, why... | |

That is cheap and tawdry and right off the bat encourages people in all the basest aspects of listening. Of course this is what everyone does in demo's. Then they wonder why there are no women audiophiles... | |
| Plinth to armboard interface Garrard 301 plinth The more closely you can make it to the plinth and arm board being like one piece the better.
