Hi Mike,Yes, that’s exactly what I’m thinking. Ideally, 18” to 22” diameter rounds – though this is a tougher cut than straight lines. “Lazy Susan” gets masonry screwed to one side then a light coat of mastic strategically brushed on the other “fi...

Hi Oregon,Nice Nice Nice. You have a lucky friend indeed! What’s with the seam around the plinth about an inch down from the top? Is this top layer a separate – affixed after the rest was bolted together? Or are these cooling vents for the hot-blo...

Hi Mike,We actually considered what you suggested. However, there were no closets in Jean's realm - only open architecture. Our only options for restraints were 24 ga solid core and duct tape.- Mario

It was remiss of me to neglect the comments of my wife, JoAnn, who had a chance to listen to Jean’s Mr. Red for about 15 minutes. She has asked me to post this in addendum:“Everything was so clear. Each instrument stood both separately and in harm...

Having actually seen Jean’s luscious Garrard 301, I have to stand by the original assessment that it is, in fact, “stunning” - no overstatement about it. Our afternoon of listening at Jean’s digs, however, was taken up exclusively with Mr. Red whi...

Hi All,The stunning arrival of Jean’s latest endeavor prompted some nostalgic waxings for me last night (never a good ingredient for empiricism). But his post today reminded me that this was not so much about “passing the torch”, as about lighting...

Hi All,First, let me offer apologies for “My System” which resembles the untidiness of a flophouse. Instead of coherent exposition, there resides jumbled teasers. Someday soon, I must pursue some tutorial help in getting it order. Anyway, Chuck go...

Hi Jean,Mr. Red indeed! Very nice job. We’re talking 7 or 8 stone here with this monster, aren’t we? Had no idea that Bogen continued its relationship with Lenco through the L-75 years. Took the opportunity while browsing through “your system” to ...
