    I'm Simon.

    Default At what stage does it become a problem?

    I seem to have started a collection of classic tonearms.



    Starting with a very original Rega RB300 which was my father's before he upgraded.

    Earlier this year year I picked up the mission 774 here, but house moves etc means I've yet to try this on the turntable. Then Oliver comes along with an Alphason HR100mcs at a great price.

    Which is the arm I've always wanted to put on the TD124 because for one I know they sound great and given the vintage of the Thorens I've also felt a straight arm never looked quite right on it.

    So armboard ordered and in the next few weeks I'll be trying out both the new arms.

    More updates to follow...

    At what stage does it become a problem? Well I'll put myself up as a hopeless case and a cautionary example: I have three TD124/IIs and a choice of ten tonearms to fit to them. So take heed!

    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    There's a few knocking about here.

    An original Helius arm
    Two Decca FFSS arms.
    A Linn Basik LV-V
    Three and a half Mission 774's (a spare arm wand counts as half )
    A Jelco SA-5

    And I think there may be a Lenco L75 arm or two amongst all the bits tucked away.

    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!”


    ***SMILE, BE HAPPY***
