Hi Mika,

The TT is unfotunately still on delivery despite I was supposed to get it during the Christmas holidays. I will post some information and pics when everything is 100% sure and I have my hands on it. In the meantime you have to just wait as I do. Apologies for this
The Dynavector cart I have is 20X2L. Have heard that on my friends system several times and decided that it will be nice replacement for the time being. However have not yet taken that into use as have planned to use my Transfiguration until the stylus will be end of its lifecycle. So at the moment Dynavector is just waiting its turn as a backup.

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!”
