Beautiful copy of the SDA Bible. Two small crimps at the top of the plastic cover, an abrasion on the front cover only visible under bright light at a specific angle ... otherwise perfect. I'm all out of SDAs, but if I weren't, I would NEVER sell this ... it's that cool if you're an owner and/or aficionado.

$60 shipped to the conus.

    Most people don't know this, but almost all of the info in the Compendium can be found in Stickys 3 and 4 here . . .

    . . . it's just that the Compendium makes it soooooooo much easier to find.

    Larry, I realize it's not the same thing, but this is almost as close...
    http://www.needledoctor.com/Clearaudio-Twister

    For the record, I actually got to try out The Clamp when Joe was sending it around years ago, I just didn't have the
    money (or, honestly, a huge interest in getting back into vinyl at the time) to grab one of the limited ones available.
    A shame, too, because I did end up buying a Twister, and while it is similar, it simply does not have the mass of the one Joe
    was offering.

    But at least you can get a Twister by next week... lol
    So, are you willing to put forth a little effort or are you happy sitting in your skeptical poo pile?

    Gotta love the ad-
    The Twister clamp is a unique value for only $100. The POM material (similar to Teflon) is machined on our own CNC machine in Germany.

    Price: $125.00

    I own two of the CA Twisters and it works great but I still want a Joe's clamp.

    Yep, the Clamp ate up 300 or so of the best audio dollars I've ever spent. Basis Reflex and the Clearaudio models are good, but not quite as good as Joe's.
