    Thorens TD-125 MKII rework

    non-suspended tables don't seem to suffer from footfalls. My Kenwoods don't budge as the floor moves.

    Not hearing much I know but love the fact that I'm listening to music and not ads or talk for almost the full hour.

    Thorens TD-125 MKII rework

    You need a better tonearm with shielded wiring anytime the wire is not inside the tonearm or upright post. But that is most of the aftermarket tonearms not ones pulled from tables and who knows what homemade tonearms have. Not trying to sound condescending about this, just showing my...

    Thorens TD-125 MKII rework

    That would be a nice way to do it. Things to consider with these suspended tables is the way the wiring leaves the tonearm. If it is a big heavy clump of wire, force fit somewhere under the table it will affect the suspension. Using short jumper wire, flexible and all from the tonearm to...

    Thorens TD-125 MKII rework

    Wish I was better than nothing and could get anything done even if not major. I filled two trash cans with leaves yesterday and said that is enough. Cleared the driveway and around the Jeep before the wind today with yard waste day on Saturday. Goal accomplished!!

    Thorens TD-125 MKII rework

    Looks good. I need a new armboard. I have a 126 that I need to put a Magnepan arm onto but this tonearm is black and the armboards I have are black and I don't think that is going to be a useable combination. Maybe a nice chunk of walnut or something. Brother has a wood shop, now available...

    Christ on a rusty bike - 3 pages of drivel discussing if Maxell should have a big or small 'M'

    Simple as one is a Logo and one is a name and capitalized. Don't understand why there is such a discussion about it and won't read it because I'm capable of understanding my comment.

    POLK AUDIO MONITOR SERIES 5 Jr

    Arguement on the other audio board as the collective agreed with this comment but one likes his Polks with the SL-2000 and could not fathom (afford is how I read it) replacing them. Seems this person just liked the peaked high end on these speakers which is what makes folks run for the 0194...

    Milwaukee Fuel M18 1/2" Impact.

    I'm still at home using air and bought Craftsman ½" impact gun. It has 600 in reverse which seems to be good for the shadetree mechanic. That high torque model, 1100 install and 1700 in reverse would break a lot of the puny €-M12-M14 bolts I work with. I would not consider it adequate to use...

    Milwaukee Fuel M18 1/2" Impact.

    Yours probably gets the most severe duty so doubtful any of us have been inside as they are still working just fine. Or a typical pit stop. Seems there are a few companies making them for this gun.

    USPS Rant

    They seemed to correctly deliver over 100 pieces of political advertising to me in the last couple months. I've had packages take a tour of different facilities before getting to my door. Must not be a good route from SoCal to Iowa.

    Lee, did you have B.P. Empire before I mentioned it as a good Infected Mushroom album? I had that in the changer the other day, still there, with some Luther Vandross, Joe Satriani and Aja. Just cranked it up and took a nap in the second bedroom sounded great. Seems the main rig, just...
