Synposium Acoustics - Impressed!
Having great results with a Symposium Segue ISO heavy mass version under a 80 lb VPI Prime with single motor flywheel sitting on a 3" maple block on top of my Lead Balloon turntable stand. In a much more needed application with my Origin Live tabl... 
Anybody out there re-cantilever their cartridge with a Soundsmith Contact Line diamond ?
@jollytinker, my comment wasn't meant for you, apparently you haven't met the intended target. 
Wait- OMG! The song is really about...?
I am going to have to seek that out, have the album but don't remember the song. I too am a big Taupin fan, what a pair they proved to be and can't wait to see the twist Hollywood puts on the up coming movie.
