Jfrech,Some clamps mats bow the record down at the edges by raising the record with a washer. This mat lowers the center of the record by making the mat surface slightly concave and putting the...

Albert,My oil-damped stabilizer came with a small piece which fits into the spindle hole to 'grip' different spindle sizes. It does not have any threaded-ness to it, though, the spindle-hole it...

Albert,I think you'll find the TTM Monitor Mat is a tad over 300g :^)It is quite interesting to play around with the screws (JCarr put me on to playing with them). I have actually tried scr...

Truly wonderful setup. I am envious of your Rockport - and your Olympos. Someday perhaps I will figure out how to get myself one (in the meantime I am slumming along with Mike's other former TT :^).

As a dip-the-toes arm, the SAEC WE-308N is quite nice. The prized one is the SX. The long one is also decent. All of them require a little jiggering of the cart in the headshell but your pod system...

Albert, now that you have had your Audiocraft AC4400 for a while, would you care to comment on it?

Albert,A couple of months have passed since you put the SkipJack in the system. Any thoughts in particular? Is it transparent enough a switch to live in a great system?

Albert, pray tell what use the SkipJack? I would have assumed the Allnic line stage would have been the main selection tool for the system.
