| Turntable lamp? I hope you got the incandescent version as halogens will put coodies into your AC, as will the power supply for the LED version, as well as using the dimmer. | |
| Record Sleeves - Which ones and where? Far West Records is a nice mom and pop near LA with better prices than the above, especially if you're out West. No website! ph: 626-335-5544. | |

| Potential problems w/ commercial open reel tapes They should hold up fine. A bit like saving your records by dubbing them to CD. | |
| Box for LP's Far West Records is a nice mom and pop out LA way with better prices than the above, especially if you're out West. No website! ph: 626-335-5544. | |
| Best of the Gliders, or? never too late... | |
| Best of the Gliders, or? Second Jcarr. If you find yourself upgrading the cart though, for not much more than you're considering check out the new Transfiguration Axia although it would outclass your current rig and would only make sense if you were planning on an upgrade... | |
