Getting fat out here on the road w/restaurant meals -- will have to get into shape by spinning some 78's, and once the muscles tone up, spin some 45's before I relax w/33's.

Dan,

So glad to hear how much you are enjoying your "new" set up.

I am sure it sounds wonderful!

Now, my Micro Seiki DD-40 will be here this week. Would you mind dropping by and setting it up for me???

Stephen.......There is a small matter of 3400 miles each way.

You are really going to enjoy the Micro Seiki DD-40 turntable and the M505 tonearm. It is a fine vinyl spinning system. I am using four of the Vibrapod #3, one uner each foot. Works very well at damping external disturbances. Keep me posted.

Spinning vinyl in the studio tonight. The Ortofon 2M Black is getting sweeter, the C1000T with the Teles in the phono stage is absolutely amazing, and the Carla Bley - Heavy Heart album is sounding so good. Vinyl is fun again.

Dan,

You didn't respond to my offer to trade you 1-1/2 tons of vinyl for whatever you have to trade. My problem is that about 60% of my LP's are classical and NO ONE appears to like classical music any more.

don't worry the lp-12 will stay... just got a great deal on a used DD-40 w/505 tone arm, and have always admired these tables.
