I am looking for a reasonable cartridge for a modified AR ES-1 turntable
I own a modified AR-ES1  The Shure V-15 type V-MR has been the cart and stylus of choice for many, many people (inc myself) for a long tome.  Find a NOS or used excellent and go from there.  They can be rebuilt or re tipped

Himalayan SALT Lamp
You must add a a lava lamp in the vicinity of the salt lamp. I'm telling you my bass was deeper and my highs were higher.  Or is it just because I live in MI and the "dangerous weed" is legal for all.  I'll have to think about that for the next 14...

What has been your costliest mistake in this hobby?
Really......."I paid for it alright".  That's your answer to having no morals, no values, no ethics. no character, no manhood.  OK I'm sure you think in simple, one thought sentences.  I'm sure you have never asked yourself what it means to be a "... 
What has been your costliest mistake in this hobby?
If this is a true story, and I doubt it.  I don't know how you can smile every evening at 6:30.  I honestly don't understand it.  You admit in a public forum that you are a liar and in this case also a cheat.  It is one thing to say well I don't k...

Child Damage Mitigation
Because of the times (this too shall pass, but not w/out a lot of damage) and the fact my driveway is 800' long I bought 50 large steel tire spikes. Those are welded double xs that leave a very sharp point upright no matter how you toss them.  In ...
