Hey,Larry!Nice to see a post from you.You have always come across,to me,as a likeable guy.Just wanted to let you know,I am FINALLY getting my COSMOS back this Tuesday.Added a Symposium Ultra Shelf,as a gift for my table.Whew,I've got a ton of interesting lp finds to explore.Hope all is OK with you.
PS. My pal YODA,shockingly,has decided to replace his Air Tangent,with the new 12.6 VPI arm.Also,he's getting a new VPI TNT 6 hot rod.He claims that the maintenance of the Air Tangent is becoming too much to deal with,as he is now getting a bit long in the tooth,and losing patience with the fotzing around necessary for cleaning out desecant from mechanisms involved.The pump is also getting noisy,and new desecant(whatever that is)costs 200 bucks.
I hope to God he does not lose the MAJESTIC ambience afforded by the air bearing,but understand the ergonomic decision made.I'm going over to his "Record Collection"(I'd say house,but,it IS literally just one HUGE record collection,behind closed walls)a week or 2 after installation.We'll see if new designs can compete with such a "Classic"!!
