Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
The debt crisis is easy to explain.Where are the bond vigilantes, then? Why is inflation so low? Why is the yield on 10 yr US treasury bonds hovering near 2%? You'd think we could be more handsomely rewarded for the risk of investing in a debt cri...

Halcro: you wrote, It is now possible for me to design a circular aluminium frame cut and welded out of 10mm thick flats into which I can just 'drop' the Victor.I think this guy 'stole' your idea. Looks very cool. 
Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously?
Resurrection complete. After nearly a year of fruitless search for someone to fix my ailing Victor tt 101, I found the man of my audio dreams. His name is Dave Brown. I must have emailed 20-30 odd turntable repair shops and/or persons and had noth...
