@Boxer12,  congratulations on the new cartridge.  Is that a mode SS no longer makes?  If so,  Will they continue to offer to re-tip it at low cost as they do for their other pieces?   I’m curious which cart(s) you changed from to it and what you t...

It’s Tim, right?  Yeah. I love Phish.  Only saw/heard them once.  (It was a rural setting and we couldn’t see the stage over the hill and behind the trees).  My daughters used to dance with me on the living room rug to Phish albums.  Their music i...
