    Sir...I know that I have mentioned this before. I seriously love your turntable. I hope that you enjoy it half as much as I admire it. One day I am hoping to follow your lead. 

    found an older pic that´s shows it´s beauty

    I bought a new smartphone in October last year, but the camera is obviously not that good, the pictures are constantly blurred or not razor sharp or the colors are not right, maybe I should have a steadier hand when taking pictures, better to buy a new one soon .

    Well...look at what 20 U.S. simoleons gets you at Goodwill. A neat place to store all of your turntable crap. What once was a cigar humidor. Is now a stylish crap locker. 😁

    That´s the origin from 1908

     

    Antikamnia_neuman.jpg.b864730e65093e6ba5e5fed7282f9bef.jpg

     

     

    Alfred E. Neumann is the mascot and cover hero of the satirical magazine MAD. However, the fictional character already existed before MAD claimed it for itself in 1954. Alfred E. Neumann is depicted as a street urchin with red hair, protruding ears, freckles and a broad grin that reveals the gap(s) in his teeth. The figure is regarded as a symbol of boundless stupidity and naivety.

    @Full Range

    I have the 40 on my 126 with the original TP16 arm & sounds great.

    But as far as the 10, IDK. Did you watch any videos? I think it might be limited to special arms, but it's still a nice design. It'll cost about $8200 or $30,000 peso for you.....

    The first thing I´ll saw in the vid that they´re using an entry level 9 cc Project-Carbon Tonearm with an entry level Ortofon cartridge for $$ / €€ 5K ? No need to follow anykind of these new tt tec hype .....

    https://www.discogs.com/release/247822-Michael-Jackson-Bad

     

    His last good album IMHO, before switching to "saving the world god-mode"... 

    Was it 1988? We saw him here in Berlin, infront of the Reichstag. Paul Young sang as warm-up, but people were impatient to see Michael and booed all the time... Poor Paul, it was undeserved. 

     

    Saw M. Jackson live in Cologne at the Müngersdorfer Stadium and left in the middle of the concert ..couldn´t stand it

    Crisis situation with a friend at work this week. He bent the cantilever on his Clearaudio Virtuoso cartridge. It's not fixable

    Sparecantilever with needle for the Virtuoso are available here w/out any problems for 256 € Performer Needle grind , or 440€ for the Artist Needle grind. I´m suprised that Clearaudio as german manufacturer is known worldwide

  9. Good evening friends, wasn´t here for while as I have seriouse online issues here . The district where I´m living gets a brand new fiberoptic cable net for internet applications. So far there isn´t anyone online here , except the users having a mobile hotspot on their smartphone . That´s my connection I´m using that at the moment to be online . It isn´t that fast and threads take a lot of time to be loaded . Takes a while till all works are finished here .

     

    Today I was in the mood to spin some records ....

     

    Jimmy Page & Robert Plant " No Quarter " recorded in Marakech and London in 1994, didn´t spun that for a couple of years

    The large global corporation is named after the American entrepreneurs and founders Adrian Dalsey, Larry Hillblom and Robert Lynn. The name for the US logistics company was derived from the first letters of their surnames in 1969. In 2002, the German postal service bought the US company.
