This Sistrum stuff works
Max, from what I understand about the Audiopoints, they use a specific type of brass, and a special geometry in the cone shape that is designed to transfer resonances in a better way than just normal brass cones. I have used different cones of dif...

Warren, I love that "microphonous meanies" reference! 
American made TT???
In the 80s, I worked in the Chicago area, which is very highly unionized. I worked with a company which installed very specialized home automation equipment in expensive homes. I found the unions to be very accepting of our situation. We had a job... 
LP 12 Owners-If you were going to buy a new TT ...
I had a LP12 Valhalla/Ittok/Karma for years, and enjoyed it very much. I now have a Teres 245 DC Signature/OL Silver/Shelter501, and it sounds far better to me than the Linn ever did. This rig cost me under $4k total, and is a killer bargain for t...

Haggemann phono preamp?
Member "Avivey" has one and loves it. He says it killed his Herron phono stage. Contact him about it. He can give you first hand info on how he likes it. 
Giving up on Power Race, and going SET?
Unsound, you're right, it doesn't have to be an all or nothing decision. And I try not to say(although I am guilty of implying) that others should not go in different directions. Heck, if they really like something else, then they should have it. ...

Thanks, Craig! I appreciate your support and participation on this issue. I'm glad you decided to take a look at this thread, and contribute the article that I couldn't find, and your well-placed responses.
