Well guys I've taken a look call me old fashioned call me a dinosaur but it's a black DJ deck that's been pimped ! It's not an evolution of an audiophile design like the myriad of mods developed for an LP12 by Linn and countless others including people who didn't even make turntables !
I think you may have all been over come by the heady vapour of record cleaning fluid ! The proof is in the listening so until then I will stick with the belt is best as my old QL A7 was no match for an AR Legend all those years ago !
Life long music lover and Hi-Fi enthusiast for over 40 years, avid live music supporter, dismayed by the current dynamic ticket pricing applied to so many events !!

Ah, Parasound Halo A21 - I think I sparked the first interest here for that amp.
I kept the dang thing for 18 happy months, which is a looooooong time for a boxswapper like me!

Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”
