I just got back on my computer from my phone, and your table looks so sumptuous with the bigger screen that I just had to give you another compliment!!

Stephen...I know this has been your dream table (as it should be...it looks and I am sure sounds gorgeous). But I was just wandering if you listened to modern tables in that $25K zip code just to compare the sound of an old Garrard (all be it completely rebuilt by Shindo) with a modern design. If you have just curious how you would describe the comparison. Congrats again Thx
