Another worthwhile thread gone down in flames. Once again I have to un-follow due to someone who alway needing the last word.
^^^^
Why not just unfollow (don’t read) the poster that irritates you. No need to ignore the whole thread. Anyone that is, or was married for XX years has a highly developed system of filtration

Vinny55 - fwiw - re: Raul’s bantering. Replying back will only encourage more. Your choice.

My personal opinion is that once a poster hits 1000 or so posts, any further posts should provide either good A) technical information based on their direct experiences or B) psychological support for Audiophiles (Music Lovers - imo - are well grounded and do not need this support). Laughter is a good form of psychological support.

Since Raul seems to want to turn this thread into a script that would befit a Mexican soap opera, I can only surmise that he is posting for the B category. I have to admit that when he uses the word "rockie" instead of "rookie" it cracks me up. Now I have seen him use the word "rookie", so there you go.

Hey Raul - where was that party you referred me to. I did not get an invite.

Jelco tone arms are worth mentioning. the new ones are fantastic if not vintage still under your $ point.
