| Randy Meisner Has Died I was mostly interested in his work with Poco (Timothy Schmidt replaced him there when he left for the Eagles, and then replaced him in the Eagles) and HIS projects. BTW, I prefer the Jack Temption (the writer) version of, Peaceful Easy Feeling to... | |

| My Final System Build in Words & Pictures What phono cartridge(s) did you settle on? Did you carry anything over, beside the 10 ga power cord? I've had my Kenwood KD 550 on the 1950's style "sand box" since I bought it new. The boxes have been made out of plywood, 2-by-6, and now scaveng... |
