Hi.  First time posting.  I had long admired an older friend's RX-5000.  He left it to me when he passed last year (RIP, Bill) and I recently got possession and did a lot of cleanup on a table that had been sitting for a couple of decades.  He has ow...

Some time ago I got a bunch of Euro-style tire weights, which I have long used to add mass to my tonearms (at the headshell).  This style of weight is thin lead strips of nominal 7g sections, each of which has peel-and-stick self-adhesive.  Strip...

On the face of it, the AF1 represents a "finished high-end product". Clearly, it is well thought out and presented in this way, and this closing/finishing effort was not cheap. And the reasons for this are well understood, because only in this way ca...
