Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?

Experiences buying used cartridges
^ I know what you mean. Felt exactly the same when I first heard a Reso-Mat, a turntable mat that is not a mat at all. Actually it´s the antithesis of : )

My adventures in the land of snow and ice are quite different to another seeker´s, my dear old friend. Long ago in the Russian hills, near the Arctic Tundra, a famous pole explorer Father Tiresias found the regal Hogweed by a marsh. He captured it...

Latin Female Singers - Any suggestions?
Jane Duboc of Bacamarte. Their only album "Depois Do Fim" (1983) is a ethnic/jazz/fusion/prog/rock masterpiece:http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/112390622927?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649
