Sometimes it's sweet to put oneself in the hands of a good FM deejay (for me, usually when driving).  I'm lucky to be within range of WPFW in DC.  A few recent gems:Oliver Nelson Septet, "Stolen Moments"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RbaGDDbpcQ4B...

AT-ART9XI Cartridge - Reduced Compliance
My SME V is being overhauled and rewired (one length to preamp) by SME Tonearms in Canada.  The Owner, Alfred, liked my choice of AT-ARTXA or XI but suggested the Dynavector xx2 Mk ii, which he happens to be able to get at a great price right now....

frogman, thank you for your detailed description.  I have printed your post and plan to jot the syncopation down on staff.  It's been so many years since I've read music I need to brush up, starting with understanding your explanation of "Antidote...
