Gravity-dependent tonearms are for amateurs anyway. Professionals use spring loaded ones that also work in zero G environments!ahem -- speaking of record players and humor (and... Germans, too!):
I know I've posted this at ASR before, but not, if memory serves, in the context of this thread... but since the conversation somehow drifted into record changers*

Posted this before, too (but, again, probably not to this thread

I'm a California native born in LA; lived in LA, north San Diego county, and the San Francisco Bay area before moving to Florida 15 years ago.

I've been out west too. Now I'm back east. Sometimes we make a trip down east, which is north of here.You can tell that I did my time in the Golden State up north, as opposed to down south.
