Here we go again. I like broiled hamsters on my pizza.

Is that hand grind? Doug would love that, as he doesn't like electricity.

Yes. I really like this cartridge. It's not unlike the Denon, just a bit better detail. Dynamics are better and I feel like the Soundstage is much improved. One of the other added benefits is the taller height of the cartridge body. No shim necessary. I'll keep the Zu/Denon, but honestly unless something happens to the Benz, the Denon won't see much use. This thing is built like a tank as well. The entire motor structure is just so much beefier than the Denon.

I also own and use Japanese hand saws. They have their place.

I never liked The Woodwright's Shop, because I never could imagine myself without having electricity. I'm all for some handwork. Chiseling, scraping, a little hand planing and sanding. But I'm never going to buy or use a bow saw. I have much respect for woodworkers of the past. It's amazing what they could accomplish with the tools they had. But for the same reason that I don't play my records on a wind up Victrola, I don't rely on old technology in the shop if there's a modern tool that will work as well or in many cases better.

My arm isn't active either, but I still seem to get great performance out of it. Now if we're talking personally, my arm can be very active at times.

And I like to take my goods into town with a horse drawn cart.

What do you have against electricity?

^ Insert TICE joke of choice.

Those are some big ass cupcakes!

I think those hinges look just right. I wouldn't go bigger. Looks great. Have you figured out why they call it Zebrawood? Because it smells like a herd of Zebras pissed on it when you cut it.

Looks great!

Are they everything you dreamed of?

I would just glue and clamp, no nails.

Is it proper to mix nationalities like that?

V carving? Sounds like some kind of rough, straight sex act. Carve that V bro!

Not sure what a SoundCloud is, but it sounds kinky. I like it.

Vibes are the enemy.

Yeah, definitely only with a bit that has a bearing. Also, you have a guide pin on the router plate. That helps to stabilize the work piece. Not boring at all Naaman. Nice!

Mrs. Carlisle was the pianist on the original 'To Tell the Truth'.

I love Dire Straits, and I'm not an old Dad. Just old. My very first construction job was with BLM in Anchorage circa 1979. I was building small warehouses for them, making $15 an hour, and Sultans of Swing was new on the radio. Life was good!

I use a router table that way at least 50% of the time.

RIP Cloris.
