Whats on your turntable tonight?

"One unscrupelous seller gave me bad feedback on USAM when Paypal agreed with me that the gear he sent me was defective and not as described and refunded my money. "

yea, thought that too, but he has another item on USAM and the same warning didn’t pop-up. So must have been specifically about this cart. How knows....He has great rating on eBay, primarily as a buyer, and may have been a member here, although not active recently.

The Serpent Kings ..... Magnum.

Purple marbled special edition.

Edit: Just inquired, and US Audio Mart has ‘red flags’ on the question form, as in someone has questioned this guys credibility. I’ll see how he responds

I heard back, it seems someone may have been questioning if that was a ‘proper’ Soundsmith box. He wasn’t aware anyone flagged him.

He says the cart origionally came as a package deal with a VPI Prime. 

Szell conducts Beethoven’s Emperor piano concerto. The Cleveland Orchestra w/Gilels. Angel, late 60’s pressing.

Great recording of this well known piece.
