Someone wanted it much more than I did, and I thought, OK, if this thing breaks do I send it back to France (wasn't sure how that would work out for me) or Japan or NASA or what...so I sold it. So now, I co-exist with a meager customized AR turntable and a Lynn tonearm, and Lynn basic cartridges...and lots of vinyl still. I did sell my Keith Monks record-cleaning machine last year, to someone who wanted it far, far more than I did. I hadn't used it in years.
