I'm not sure Mike's wife will be that pleased to see all of us.
You have added a trapdoor and an alligator pit? I should have known.He is always welcome.
Sorry Mike I thought Carl was talking about his cat.
Looking forward to see your new TT mounted with its tonearm and all set ready to go for your first spin impression.
Cheers, enjoy a great weekend here on the Pacific west coast.
I think the Saskia II is just about the sexiest looking TT getting about. It's lines are delicious, and it's apparent simplicity beguiling.
Mike, I hope it fits in well to your expectations and requirements.
Mike is to much of a gentleman to even give hard criticism, if he is not satisfied
it will simply be gone one day
Anyone know what bearing is used on the Saskia?
well.....the good news is i'm back home from my 5 day trip to the East Coast, and again in the presence of the Saskia model two. more good news is that my new, just released, Ortofon MC Anna Diamond cartridge will arrive today.
the bad news is that my arm boards will not be ready to ship back to me from Win until tomorrow at the earliest, or next week sometime. needing 4 lousy tapped holes on each arm board. grrrrrrrrrrrr.
so i can't yet listen to the Saskia model two. and best case is early next week. huge bummer. frustrating.
Congratulations, Mike! It looks great!
Wow, that one looks very similar to my 10 inch Grandezza in Cocobolo and tarnished copper, which I really like. I think it was one of the earliest Grandezza arms. So good, I have no desire for any other on my SME.I think the whole of WBF are as frustrated as you, Mike, such is the anticipation...
Speaking of arm boards, I just finished making the General an Indian Rosewood arm board cut for his Da Vinci Grandezza and Garrard 301. We mounted a Blue Dragon and I must say it was sounding very nice.
That's an idler that Mike could be playing right now, unlike Saskia. Lucky General. Unlucky Mike.
