    At first, I thought Marco was talking to me. Glad I checked in to see what all the chatter is about....

    Cant wait to get the armboards from Speedy Steve so that I can compete with Marcos TT!!!
    Anyone who thinks CDs sound better needs to listen to my system. Besides, my cables sound better than yours.

    Possibly. Suppose I'd reach more people - Can't see DJ'ers going ebony though. Then there's the fees etc...

    I think they are both looking for hifi punters.
    The fees put me off, but you can add that in and look at "Classified", assuming it still exists
    Could you put in different prices in different materials ?

    On to counterweights.

    I am now able to offer lovely 303 stainless steel counterweights.

    Here's a 135g one I've just made for Richard (Gromit)


    Please contact me by PM or the web link below if you require counterweights, tonearm boards.

    Made from solid brass, 20mm thick and 170mm long. 2.3Kgs of brass!
