I'm reading Amy-Joe Albany's Low Down: jazz, junk and other fairy tales from childhood . My first Kindle book. Just bought this gizmo. I like it, just discovering how my life will be altered around this Kindle. I now have no excuses to not read.

Why isn't there a camera in the mail room? Also, your security guard can call the package recipient, or at least log in deliveries, when they are picked up..

To enter, do you have a buzzer, or a panel on which one enters a passcode?

I'm afraid it does. I don't think car comparisons are needed. Electronics can be explained within its own parameters. If two amplifiers measure the same on the test bench, they will amplify the sound in the same way, regardless of their design. Just my $.02

My elderly uncle and his wife live in a large apartment building in Brooklyn. When we visit them , I see many packages on the lobby floor ,under the very long row of mailboxes. It's a basically a free for all. I'm sure packages disappear there all the time. Mail carriers just drop them off, and don't deliver to individual tenants. There are pictures of package thieves pasted in the lobby, taken from the CCTV in the lobby; the building is a rent-controlled home to many elderly people, and thieves take advantage of the age of the residents. I'm sure some of them are too trusting, and buzz in people that shouldn't be there. Easy pickins for the thieves.

Jay Hoggard - Mystic Winds, Tropical Breezes. Was listening to this record just now, after almost two decades. This is very VERY good. Surprised it wasn't released on cd.

Jay Hoggard - Mystic Winds, Tropical Breezes

Was this part of the 300 million deal? I told you he made out like a bandit!

Did you see the nod to the Battle of the Little Bighorn and general Custer?

I love this cover!

Well, I set up the Grado Me+ late yesterday night, and had time to play just 2 mono albums - Song For My Father, BLP 4185, New York USA - right away noticed less surface noise than with the stereo cartridge. The Modern Jazz Quartet, PRLP 160, 10" original from 1953 - there's no magic, record wear from a heavy 1950s needle can't be reversed. Like porcy62 said, the mono cartridge seems to track the grooves better than the stereo. I noticed that on the much more dynamic Horace Silver album. I'll do some fine tuning tonight.

There's a English term FRENCH FITTING, which refers to boxes usually [think today's apartments], where a number of items are nicely placed next to each other, maximizing the use of enclosure. Like the brace of Le Page pistols above. Scandinavian design ideas of simplicity certainly didn't manifest in your automobiles. Saabs, especially, were anything but simple to work on. In good news, I received my cartridge, and will be mounting it tonight.

Money talks...was that his tune also? https://www.nytimes.com/2020/12/07/arts/music/bob-dylan-sells-publishing.html?searchResultPosition=1 It is strange to me though. Who buys Bob Dylan's music today? I think he made out like a bandit.

In what sense? Many, if not most Europeans live in apartments. I suppose with clever planning they could accommodate 2, maybe even 3 turntables. They are good at fitting things. Look at Ikea. They've been doing it a long time:

That is debatable, and indeed, possible to measure. I like the look of wood, like many of us.

That is indeed the point. I'm sorry, I just felt like fooling around.

Amplifiers, if correctly designed and fabricated, should not have their own sonic signatures.

This is a very cool cover. I wonder why the artist chose to paint the instruments 3 or more times bigger their real dimensions...
