Animusmajor,

I've been looking for a pair of Hales T-8 and would like to let you know if you ever decide to sell them to please reach out to me. I live in Grand Rapids Michigan and you can reach me at six one six eight five six one one three three.

Well done buying the Simon Yorke.  Did you buy it from Simon or in the after-market?

I have an S4 Zarathustra (suspended).  I had an S7 bought from Simon; then upgraded to an S10 with Aeroarm (parallel tracking on air bearing) bought from Simon 11 years ago.  This plays wonderfully.  I am told mine is one of only three customer Aeroarms sold before Simon stopped making turntables, 'got out' of the industry like Hales.

Enjoy your music!

I would've like to see/hear more about the room tuning since you mentioned it. Trying to learn more about it and want to see what others are doing. Love the system and thank you for specifying the tubes you have installed.

Nice Hales. To bad that guy got out, could have been a giant in the industry...

I really like the photos of your turntable.  Very nice, and the rest of your system looks fantastic, too.
