Ron, at 54, with a mental age of 84, I object to being called an old geezer.
Dinosaur, yes, old geezer, no.

I've heard the same about stylus guards. The two I have are pretty easy to install from the bottom, so I have never had an issue. However, for dust and protection, I use a bulky and inconvenient turntable cover. Great for kids and the cleaners. Frankly, what scares me more is someone trying to touch the tweeters of my speakers. I've seen and heard of quite a few "poked in" tweeters. Now that is a real hassle to repair.
Sorry to hear your news, Tang. I'm not sure I'd allow cleaning staff into that front end alcove of yours. You have a healthy attitude. It is only a material thing that can be easily replaced or "upgraded". Hahaha.
I already have the cover, it was one of the strong selling points of Stabi M for me
Dear Shane,
My wife let me go so mad on audio as long as I leave my office at 4pm for home and no audio on weekends to spend time with my boy. Given this limited window openning, I am not such a good host. But if you fit my time I can savor the flavors of Thai food for you. Happy stomach makes happy listening.

Tang,
May I suggest as your son get old to expose him to you wonderful stereo system and collection of classical music. Every evening during the week, my 8 year old daughter and I listen to classical music and complete her math homework. Some times she asks for Mozart, sometimes she ask for the Nutcracker guy (Tchaikovsky) and others.
Enjoy!
Maids and secretary’s can be trained or fired! ! I lost 2 top cartridges to 2 different wifes cleaning effort ! Passiv aggressive behavior maybe ?When this kind of $h_t happened, nothing you could do. Just have to laugh it out

Go for the Century, Denmark could use the money to balanced out all the danish tourists are spending in your country!
The mind races. Not sure what you and your secretary might have been doing that involved a turntable. Most people would probably use some other form of furniture.....BREAKING NEWS:
(Just try to imitate Ron)
My secretary just busted my ZYX Universe premium. The diamond tip now turned 90 degree parellel to the vinyl. The ZYX was definitely my karma with infinite dramas. Or should I look at the bright side and take this is as an opportunity to buy a new cart.

Maybe she was hired to turn records. He has a cartridge guy !The mind races. Not sure what you and your secretary might have been doing that involved a turntable. Most people would probably use some other form of furniture.....
And by the way, is there a surface in Tangs office not occupied by a
turntable?

I thought Ked was auditioning for that job, but he got turned down because he's too eager and kept raiding Tang's fridge.
You sure have one naughty mind race Marty.The mind races. Not sure what you and your secretary might have been doing that involved a turntable. Most people would probably use some other form of furniture.....

My son asked to do a needle drop every time he came to my office. He gave me this million dollar jackpot smile every time the music started once the needle landed. I taught him how to do it gently using arm lowering lever. He can certainly land the stylus a lot more softly than Bonzo.

Dear Tang,
It is great to have your son do the needle drop and see that smile
I do not get why people are so condescending to women in this hobby and even here on this forum... I get a similar feeling with my wife (I have no kids). I showed her our system, it is a more delicate system than what she has seen before. She has a small record collection and she really enjoys the system, I want her to listen to it even I am away, but she is too careful. I would prefer she listens to it than the small system in her study. I told her, I do not care if she breaks the needle, blows up the amp etc. as long as she was trying to listen to music and enjoy the main system.

The other tables are flimsy compared to AS for what you are thinking Marty
Absolutely agree......i have been through this once when my daughter’s friend took fancy to the berrylium tweeter on my Avior and promptly poked it in for fun. I was livid as hell. It’s not the cost but the hassle of getting a new one resoldered in place which is a pain in the wrong place!

Tang is similar to you. He gave me the impression that as long as I enjoyed the music, he did not care if I broke the needle or blew up anything. A great host I could keep going back to
