    Oh, I cried alright. Jumped up and down shouting and pointing. The tears just kept coming as I pulled each record out one by one.

    She never had a furnice in the Philippines and didn't know that they got, "that hot."

    I would hate to set VTA for that record. There is a company that makes a record flattening device that one of your local audio shops might have. Not to purchase but as a service they might try to flatten it for you.

    The Furutech DF-2 LP Flattener might help flatten it. It cost $2,170 which is why I did not think you would want to buy one. I had a local dealer with a great record cleaning machine and they would charge $.50 an album. Maybe you could find a dealer who might flatten it for $1 or 2.

    A furnace in the Philippines is like AC in Alaska.

    For my Gemini XPM-1200 amp that I blew up watching Return of the Jedi on DVD when I wired two subs to the single bridged output of my amp by intertwining the speaker wire. There was no A/B speaker terminals so I thought I was being smart. The amp died somewhere during the movie but man was it loud and boy was I a dumbass.

    I prefer my sex like my basketball, one on one, and with as little dribbling as possible.

    AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA...................

    No thank you. I had to talk the wife through the soldering process last time. The old eyes just are not what they used to be.
    Go ahead, gloat. Your day will come Mr. Happy 20 year old.

    Haha,

    I hear ya! and if it's any consolation, I've been wearing glasses since I was 6, now at -7,5 in both eyes. Soldering tonearm wires is a serious PITA, and usually ends in a break between soldering each wire to let my eyes "recover" from the flux smoke...

    (and no, I promise, we won't blow your tweeters anymore...)

    btw, how are those speakers (and the man & his family owning them) doing? it's been a serious while again since I've been here...

    Regards,
    Bert.
