Visit the Wonderful World of Analog Raul Style


OK, all regulars on this site know Raul. As some of you may remember, I suggested to Raul within a previous thread that he post pictures of the various tables, tonearms, and especially the large number of cartridges he has referenced over the past several months. I figured that such would provide a great resource for the vast majority of us who have never even seen, let alone heard, a number of the cartridges he mentions both favorably and critically. Some contacted me with encouragement, some with skepticism that I could pull it off, and some with skepticism that the cartridges existed. In short order, I heard from Raul, himself, and it became clear that he was not unwilling to share images of his treasure trove (and I mean treasure trove, literally) but, rather, did not know how to go about creating a forum to do so. As such, I agreed to create for Raul a dedicated webpage for their display, if he would send to me pictures. Well, to say that I was overwhelmed at what came my way was an understatement. I think you will agree.

I subsequently created the webpage, a link for which I provide below. No, it is not professional – I am not a professional web builder. Yes, it is LARGE and, yes, it will take awhile to load, depending on your connection speed. In any case, my advice is to be patient and wait for it to load completely. It is my hope that this will prove a fun and educative resource for us all. I would appreciate it if folks would bump this thread now and again so that others might have the opportunity to view the site and bookmark it for future enjoyment.

Above all, THANKS to you, Raul!!!

Metralla, good point. I resized all the images and forwarded them last night to 4yanx. Hopefully he'll be able to substitute with the resized images to make things easier on the bandwidth. If he's successful making the switch, I'll help him create some hyperlinks to the full-sized images for those wanting to see any given image in greater detail. (In the interim, the full-sized images may go away for a while because the re-sized images all use the same file names, but we'll get 'em back again in a few days.)

My compliments to 4yanx, though, in helping Raul make these pictures available. Without his efforts working with Raul on this, we'd never have been able to see these. And thanks to Raul for being willing to take all of these photos and make them available.

Raul, Done, assuming your email address from our conversation 18 months ago is still correct. If not, email me via Audiogon.
"Btw, I appreciate, too, if you can e-mail me your audio system."
