It depends on how much enthusiasm you have for Tiffany.

Sorry if I seemed a little cranky - having this happen after I tried to warn the cleaning lady off kinda put me in a cranky mood. Reminds me of the time a cleaning lady tried to clean the door of a Kitchenaid SS refrigerator with a scouring pad. That cost her (a different cleaning lady) a new refrigerator door just for sheer stupidity!

I've always loved women named Tiffany - oh you mean the little blue box. Never mind, I'll take my lumps with the cartridge! : )

If my cleaning lady busts my Talisman I get to upgrade to the Concerto v2.

Chris.......Sorry to hear about the bent cantilever. This is a far too common occurance for turntable users. A dust cover certainly seems like cheap insurance against a lackadaisical cleaning woman.

Thanks, not sure that the problem was that she was lackadaisical, maybe it was she was too enthusiastic!

I killed a cart by dusting with an old t shirt. the sleeve caught the stylus good bye koetsu cart. Told my koetsu dealer asked for small discount for a replacement i would mount myself. Basically was told to go mount myself, so i bought elsewhere, moved up a couple of levels in the koetsu line and avoided the sales tax..

If you mount yourself, do you have to adjust for VTA, tracking force and anti-skating?

I'd have a hard time visualling that. Probably I shouldn't try.
