Well... with luck we might be able to do a complete system... Cressy-rebuilt Goldring GL72 - can certainly do that. (Garrard can't be moved without a block and tackle). Dieselpunk AMB A24 balanced linestage if I've got it built by then The Beast With Two Backs OTL monos if I've got those built by th...

The spare headshell would come in very handy actually, thank you for that. It'll be easier to swap out headshells than stylii. For now we just bought a cheap Rotel receiver off eBay to set it up in the bedroom, longer term I'd like to partner it with a Quad 44 and the Son of Beast (after the new ful...

Oh that looks fantastic - thanks again!

Can't wait to get it home.

Sorry, as you were.

The Mets are a revelation and such a breath of fresh air and relief after years of struggle with finicky booming boxes. I'm never going back to monkey-coffins, ever. There is a market out there, I'm betting. Meredith just mentioned she can help out with web design (she's a technical writer by profes...

Thanks Nick

I'll just be over here in the corner with the dunce's cap on.

Only 3.5 watts - interesting...
