Gospel according to Mario. Now we get parables.What I was referring to was the failed attempt of JeanNatais to get 'his' idler reviewed by 6 moons who kind of didn't want to anyway and the drool effect that the Mighty turntable had with them. A dr...

Technics SL1200/1210 owners - which mat?
The Funk Firm's 5mm Achromat does it for me.
