    Default Hello All!

    Long time lover of Music and Hi-FI here! Just recently found your forum. Currently due my recent divorce, I am reassembling a stereo system , and my purchase of a Hadcock GH228 arm that I'm fitting to a newly modified Thorens TD165 table brought me to this forum. I'm rewiring it with VDH mcs150 M wire, and adding a XTC counterweight as well. Currently building a new plinth from rosewood, which will be partially filled with lead and sand. I built my first Thorens table about 10 years ago, using Bubinga and similar lead and sand process. Anyway any tips on the Hadcock are appreciated, I have tried to read as much as possible about this arm. My last table had a wonderful Magnepan Unitrac I on it .

    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!”

    Hi Mark. Welcome to AOS.

    The Hadcock and Thorens should be a nice combination. Try starting a thread in the Analogue Arts section and asking questions, I'm sure you'll get plenty of replies.

    Tell us what music you listen to and what the rest of your system is.


    Enjoy the forum,
    Geoff.
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    Hi Rob,

    The fastguy name came from my involvement and interest in racing. I've done motor racing in cars, motorcycles, and Karts. As well I've spent 30years racing sailboats on the great lakes in Michigan. Just love life and I'd race just about anything.
