Last post by Spotted Horses - Today at 11:51:55 AMQuote from: Mandryka on Today at 11:39:41 AMI just got an alert saying that deprofundis has added me to their buddy list, but when I searched for deprofundis in the members list to send a message saying hello, nothing came up.
What's going on?
When you change your username the system seems to remember your original username (it reverts to that if you delete your account). Is it possible that deprofundis changed his username but it reports the original name when it tells you about the buddy request.

Last post by Valentino - Today at 11:35:02 AMAlfred Bokrand sources vintage Ortofon AS-212 tonearms from (mainly) Telefunken S 500 and S 600 turntables. Those arms were OEM for Telefunken with a longer mast and more widely spaced horizontal bearings than the ordinary AS-212.
He replaces the horizontal and vertical bearings.
He makes a new arm tube, vertical bearing housing, end stub and counterweigts, and adds a new Oriofon/SME/JIS connector, internal Cardas cables and MDIN connector, a new tonearm lift (Jelco) with a copy of the beautiful original Ortofon lever.
He offers his tonearms as Straight (J-bend, AS-) or Banana (like those EMTs of yore, AB-), with P2S of 309 (12"), 230 (10") and 211 (9") mm. He's analogandmore4you on Ebay.
Open in a new window for true size.
Mine is an AS-230 ("Straight" 230 mm P2S). In the interim I'm using an SME-adapter from E-bay. I'll get a new arm board for Bokrand's own arm mount, which like the rest of his work also is a beautiful piece of craftmanship.
(That's the famous drunken coda of Solti's Rheingold It's the brand new remaster and it sounds magnificent.)
