Rabco SL-8E Tone Arm
Nandric, if Herb Papier had something to do with Rabco, I stand corrected. In any event David Shreve would probably know. Meanwhile, he has replied to Kisawyer and myself, so there's a very good chance Kisawyer will have his arm back up and runnin...

Nandric: Yes, this is the same person. As Mosin said, David's one of the good guys. It's a privilege to know him.

looking to audition Running Springs P C--
Very good idea to audition first. Sad to hear about RS's fate. I was thinking seriously of carrying them until someone mentioned another product that quickly replaced his Dmitri once he heard it. I have one of those now and am breaking it in.Brian @ 
Should I retip a Shinon red, or replace it? $350

The Problem with Synergistic Research

Has anyone had any luck in contacting Dale Pitcher
You got that right, Agear. Dale seems more organized and responsive than years ago, when it would appear that Lrsky dealt with him. In my own experience in recent years Dale has been fine to work with, no undue delays or lack of communication. I h... 
After Quad ESL's?
I've had several ESLs through the years, from Acoustat 2+2s, Audiostatics, Quad 57s, and Sound Labs. The Quads and the Sound Labs are the best of the genre; I have been a Sound Lab dealer for several years. Wanting a smaller speaker line, I recent...

Hornguys, your post raises some questions.- Specifically, what model(s) of cables did you audition? Were they the current Mk II version, which are a substantial improvement over Mk I? Teo Audio has offered free upgrades of Mk I cables for my custo... 
Teo XLR
Jim (Hornguys), the products speak for themselves. That I've sold quite a few, including several sets of speaker cables, demonstrates that some feel they are well worth it. You'll be hearing a lot more from Teo Audio.
