Just a kind word of thanks

Back in early June I posted a response to a reader requesting feedback impressions of a particular table / arm combination that I just happened to own. While responding to this post I mentioned that I was running my Benz Glider cart. at 47K Ohms. Another Audiogon member "Zaikesman" replied that this setting was not correct for this particular cart. We then went off line and over to direct e-mail for some detailed discussions. After several pages of pleasent detailed education I started to experiment with my C-J EF1 phono stage. I finally became satisifed with 500 ohms at 52dB of gain. The wonderful thing about this experience was that a fellow Audiogon member took the time and energy to help educate another member in incredible detail. This is the reason why I love this site, and continue to buy / sell from this site. Good people with a love for high end equipment and music, willing to share knowledge and experience in a unselfish fashion!

Zaikes, Yep, I am a Steve also. I could see that couple of thou, but it would be a bunch of garbage, and I don't think you would want it, so I will politely fold. ;o)

Quincy, this site has and is an education for me also. I too have found a fellow member who I contacted thru email and he has been VERY helpful in helping me learn about HiFi audio. There have been several times I would have jumped in and bought something, that after running it by him, he has helped guide me into better audio decisions. I will not mention his name, but he knows who he is.

Tom aka TWL, you are welcome and deserve many more cudos than I am able to express. I am glad to see the helpful members on this site get their just recognition for service above and beyond.

I very seldom post here, but I can assure you, I have visited this site daily since I found it approx. 6 months ago. I still know very little about analog HiFi, but I will keep coming back and learning. Hopefully someday I will be able to give back some of what has been so graciously given to me.

Great thread Quincy! Thank you!

Zaikes, I only wish I had a Teres. But for now, I am still using my Technics 1300. The only upgrade I have made is I bought a Goldring 1042 cart, which I am very happy with BTW. You say we live close, so am waiting for that email. Sorry I won't be able to give you a listen to a Teres, but you are welcome to listen to my Technics, as I have a collection of a few thousand Lp's. Surely I will have something you would enjoy listening too.

I have caviar dreams, but only an Oscar Meyer budget!
