What happens upon her return?

Try the MyMat under the acrylic mat as well. Of coarse there is the option of the flat side of the MyMat and the other side which has hundreds of tiny, symmetrical raised "points", that IMO contribute to the MyMat’s effectiveness. I personally use the flat side to the platter. Enjoy!
@uber 

Most times it starts as a well needed hear. Then it morphs into a flow. That flow may not make any sense to outsiders.
@boxer12,

The"dimple side" also acts as teenie decoupling devices as well!!!
I take it for what it is and I find that cure's any ills I have with it.

You sure do get around...especially in N.C.

Well I will attest to the superb SQ of The Bob Dylan (RSD) "Blood on the Tracks" "Test Pressing"

I had to flatten it
I need to actually investigate. I can’t, at the moment figure out what causes the stylus to stay parallel "in the groove" without the VTF pressure on the stylus being the mainstay that causes the rods to adjust to the stylus tracing a record groove.
I assume each channels wiring goes inside that particular channels arm tube, thus possibly eliminating noise?
boxer,

In order for the Vira to track like a linear arm, I assume both rods have a bearing on each end and as the cartridge traces a record, the rods actually move to adjust for tracing error? ..actually you already said that.

I noticed it looked similar to a Thales, but I'd never really investigated those arms.
In a while...Bob Dylan "Blood on the Tracks" RSD 2019. Just realized I'd never listened to it. Actually, I don't recall reading here of anyone elses' listening impressions?
The Cranberries "Everybody Else is Doing it, So Why Can't We" Analog Spark/2017
Traffic "When the Eagle Flies" from the excellent sounding The Studio Albums box set.
Blur "Modern Life is Rubbish"  Parlophone/2012

Boxer, that's an interesting design. Need to check it out further.
@big_greg,

I meant to +1 you on your "Heartbeat City" post.

I was actually thinking as to why I don't own the MFSL version?


Eric, Do you find your enjoyment of the lps you post about related In any way to the books you read?
Low "Ones and Sixes"

Didn't get around to listening to most of it last night because it never had been US cleaned....that has been rectified.
"Ones and Sixes" is IMO, a great record. I do realize this band is not everyone's cup o' tea. The SQ is EX and the last track has low bass man. Much lower than PF "DSOTM".
I’m not a jazz guy although the thought of becoming a jazz guy intrigues me. Here’s an lp I bought solely on a fellow members’ recommendation. Never auditioned it. Here goes....

Art Lande and Rubisa Patrol "Desert Marauders" ECM 1106/promo/1978/Germany

I think we had this conversation when "TSOW" came out. I still have not heard the original but I understand your position.
