    I didn't want to have to do this, but I'm on my way over with a box of wine, chocolate covered strawberries, and I couldnt find rose petals so I plan to drizzle bologna all over your 200 thread count bed sheets.

    Get ready to have your world ROCKED by yours truly!!!

    There is no list, these are a few weeks out till they are a go, still have a couple things to figure out, but we can have fun with it till the time comes..

    Only a couple people have seen pictures of the progress of these, we are getting close but still work to be done.

    This will be a one time and done deal, the only reason I am truly doing this is because I have always wanted one, and this is the only way. So only a handful of these will be available...

    Need some education here, what is the main purpose of a clamp? Improve tracking ability? Improve sound(how)?
    I really don't need improved tracking with my cart but I'm all for better sound.

    Larry has on occasion run the rings, and I dont think its ever been stated its one and done (correct me if I'm wrong), however WHEN he runs them is based on his schedule, desire to do so, and of course ensuring enough demand is there to justify the material used.

    So it happens on occasion, but like the eclipse, not that often, so when it does, buy them for ANY SDA you think you might own and then just hoard them :smile:

    Main purpose of The Clamp was to flatten warped vinyl. It has other sonic benefits to most ears in the form of more positive coupling with platter.

    Yeah, I read that clamping to couple reduces resonance and acoustic vibration of the record itself, resulting in better focus and detail. (from KAB, maker of one of the other clamps I'd considered for the SL-1200/1210)

    It just so happens I have 3 turntables and a microphone, only 2 Clearaudio clamps spose I could use a 3rd clamp. I'm betting with the craft and workmanship that Toolfan possess one of these will be a must have.

    Could you give out the dimensions ? I imagine I'll need to use a hole saw to cut some clearances in my granddaughter's "Close N' Play" and would need to know the dimensions.

    ........ I hate you peoples.

    ......... but in a good way ! o:)

    Even if you don't own a table {sigh}, one of these would look fine sitting on a mantle.
    Backlit.
    If a guest asks, "What is this ?", you could tell them 2 things:

    1. TOUCH THAT AND I'LL EAT YOUR FACE OFF !
    2. It's a fine piece of rare artwork from the artiste, Lawrence, of "Lawrence Metal
    Fabrique Emporium".

    Straight up, that's some nice work. :)

    That's an interesting approach.

    Of course I did. I bought an overpriced used one in pretty bad shape and overnighted it to Germany so it could be refurbished.
