Time for a new thread on racks. I'll get on it now.Plastic on plastic. You finally figured it out!!! The contours are there to get the deionized RO distilled Himalayan water off of the edge.;0 
Teres 340, anyone heard / seen one in the flesh
Doug,I'm going to try and make it to Cello's too. I just emailed him with what's up. This two-arm stuff is gonna be interesting. Read what I just posted under Fx's RRL thread.Joe"When the going gets wierd, the wierd turn pro"

Fx,I've got two new projects going now. First is a two-armed Teres made out of red coconut palm, and whatever other woods I think go with it. Once I heard about the two-armed 340, I gots to have something similar.Second is a new rack. I bought som... 
Audio Note Soro from 97, still current?
Phil,I have mine on Audiopoints. I actually have them under everything, including the battery power supply for the Teres! I also use Stardamp to control cover resonance. The cover is kinda flimsy, probably my only gripe about the Soro.I've never h... 
Audio Note Soro from 97, still current?
Phil,I like the Soro SE Phono much better than the Oto. I use Tungsol 5881 (4), Ken Rad VT229 (2), Tesla ECC803 gold pins (4), Bugle Boy 6dj8 (1), And 2 12au7's, but I can't remember what I have in it now. The phono stage is excellent for MM cartr... 
Preamp Deal of the Century
1 rectifier, 2 power, 2 line stage. But, don't screw with the tubes until you get about a hundred hours on it. That way, you can try the tubes one at a time after you get it broken in a little. That's the only way you will be able to tell what wor... 
Please throw some light on this.....read on.
I think in this case you should just bite the bullet and take it in. The problem sounds electronic, and since it sounds like you have a real Nak service center, IMHO that's the way to go.BTW, when I had a problem with an old Nak receiver, I had to...

I've got to disagree with Doug this time. I like the Last brushes better. They just seem to work well for me. Also, one thing I have learned is that on old shitty-looking records, after using the Groovmaster and sink, is that the VPI brush and flu... 
Preamp Deal of the Century
Larry,Check here for the 6c45pi:About 2/3 down the page$40 for a matched pair. They call it the Commie equivilent of the WE 437a. Me thinks not, and I'm not going to spend a hundred bucks to find out. Remember, I need 4 in my Syrah. I still feel t... 
Bigger is Better...
A little off topic, but I never knew about avsforum.com. I must say thanks! Being primarily an audiophile with a "decent" HT, I now know where to go when it is time to upgrade the TV.Thanks!

I just used different weights. I like the shorter/fatter ones. They are 1/2 oz wieghts that I took a little off so I could get the concave to match the convex surfce of the bearing cap. This isn't one from Tom, I just winged it from his post.And N...

Sure can. I took two to give those of you who have not seen it to check it out.Overall Side view I didn't reduce the quality & size of these pics like I did on most of the ones on my site. So, closeups you ask for, closeups you get!
