| Ready to try vinyl Before we can go-on there is one subject that is really important for to do a critical evaluation on TTs and that critical subject is the TONEARM/CARTRIDGE combination: is has to be the same. Albert we have to find how we can run the Walker with a... | |

| Cats and audiophiles These stories are wonderful. I can just picture these cats doing all the things described here. The winning story however, is from Bob Bundus. PET FOX SQUIRREL? I thought I had a pretty good thing going, calling my bunch down from the trees in the... | |
