Just a kind word of thanks

Back in early June I posted a response to a reader requesting feedback impressions of a particular table / arm combination that I just happened to own. While responding to this post I mentioned that I was running my Benz Glider cart. at 47K Ohms. Another Audiogon member "Zaikesman" replied that this setting was not correct for this particular cart. We then went off line and over to direct e-mail for some detailed discussions. After several pages of pleasent detailed education I started to experiment with my C-J EF1 phono stage. I finally became satisifed with 500 ohms at 52dB of gain. The wonderful thing about this experience was that a fellow Audiogon member took the time and energy to help educate another member in incredible detail. This is the reason why I love this site, and continue to buy / sell from this site. Good people with a love for high end equipment and music, willing to share knowledge and experience in a unselfish fashion!

Yeah, now that you bring it up, if I were to actually get rid of all of my 'bunch of garbage', I shudder to think how much more compact the ol' collection would be... ;^)

Gosh, I'm glad I spotted this thread before it dropped off the radar! Quincy, you're most welcome, and I'm glad I could be of any assistance. Believe me, I've tapped many of those on Audiogon possessing much more knowledge than myself, and it just feels good to be able to ocassionally pass that spirit foward.

Steve, you sly dog, I didn't know Tom had gotten you into a Teres. I just got the KAB outboard power supply for my 1200, a big improvement. I'm emailing you - since we live close by, we need to have a throwdown sometime soon, so that *you* can teach *me* what a real TT sounds like!

Can't let this thread go any farther without a shout-out to Sean, who has knowledgeably advised so many here, both on- and off-line. And just to prove what a bunch of swells we are around this place, Rcprince is hooking up with me next week to hand-deliver some of his spare power tubes to me all the way from NYC, so's I can borrow them for a while to find out if I should be thinking of switching types - you da man, Russ! (Audiogon is the place!)

Wwwrecords, I guess you must be a Steve. So is "Dennis_the_menace" - check his post above. But I'll see you on those few thousand records, and raise you a couple of thou! :-)
