Hello All!

[fastguy1955]

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 .

Hi Mark, does fastguy1955 signify that you are living life in the fast lane as you are aware of your impending mortality :eek: I was a 1955 baby, a great year to be born:D What sort of music do you like? Have fun and get stuck in here.

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.

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.
