Hi Nikola I agree - The 2nd location threw a whole new dimension into this problem. I can’t bring myself to sell any – yet? And I am a sucker for a good deal. You are a tonearm aficiona...

THIS OLD HOUSE

Man o man - what I would give up to have a room like that for gear. Gear can be bought and sold. The only thing I lust over in this hobby is a nice big airy room. Beautiful.
