Umm, well we were adept at both. Multitasking in the precomputer age.

We got an AR but only for the motor, platter and pivot. We called the tone
arm a baseball bat, $25. Then we got a Grace tonearm, a beautifully tapered
aluminum channel with holes drilled thru it for weight reduction. It had
bare gold wires epoxied to it for the phono cartridge signal (the epoxy
isolated the 4 wires). The tone arm had an oil damped uni-pivot so you had
to balance it in 360-degrees, $125. Got a new moving coil cartridge and
preamp, $275. Lastly, since the base of the AR was also substandard, we cast
a solid concrete base. Total weight about 100-lbs and NEVER any rumble,
noise or feedback. Total cost about $450.

Exactly what I mean!  If Eric had not had constructive outlets in
audio-nerding, he probably would have been out engaging in anti-social
behavior or something.   c
