    Techdas V or Primary control Kinear

    Yes..thanks. I have had a good look at the Techies site and yes the pitch control is exactly that by varying the speed of the platter. Not really sure it is much of an advantage as I would probably never use that facility. So the only differentiator for me between the old and the new is is that...

    Favorite Rolex?

Rolex set out to be the premier aspirational luxury watch for the 'average man". It launched an aggressive marketing campaign which it...

    Yes....he started off at around $56,000. He seems to have settled for £26,000 which, i believe was the original selling price in Europe. The last time a saw one advertised in Europe was advertised for 10,000Euro in Scandinavia!
