Hi all,

I got an exceedingly good deal from Larry on a pair of Tara Lab cables. These are the third pair I've received from Larry. My Ist pair are in use for my Sony X7ESD CDP, and my second pair are used on the output (play) from my new Pioneer Elite MJ-17D MiniDisc deck. This third pair will be used for the input (record) side of my Pioneer MD deck for recording. I now use my MD decks to record a Master before recording onto cassette or reel.

Larry surprised me with a gift enclosed with the cables: a very nice digital pocket scale for measuring the tonearm tracking weight on my turntables.







Thank you very much, Larry!

No, you would have lost due to the uncalibrateable nature of the arm. i for one would have been suspect of my dealer had I seen him weighing out my stuff on his turntable while playing Innagoddadavida.

Besides, everybody knows you play Eric Clapton Slowhand when you want to use your tonearm for proper calibration of anything other than a cartridge. lol

My own thread spun out out of control. How is that possible? Stand-up comedians abound on this forum! That's why it's fun to be here.
