    Recommendation for restoration of a Thorens TD124MKII a shop or individual

    Now the $64 question what tonearm works well with these? SME? Also what's the difference between a TD124 and the MkII ? I found a Graham 1.5 TC tonearm with the WBT box NIB so I have that on hold. Any thoughts if this arm is a good match with the Thorens

    He says he is not actively short Pfizer or Moderna. I am not either but I do use other vehicles to hedge. I do agree with Mr. Dowd and my hedge account is up over 100 pct in the last 30 days. That tells me the "smart money' is selling in a big way despite the Fed trying to prop it up.

    Well Dan Z has all the final parts to complete it and we are shooting for this March. I and my brother have just survived Covid so it's up and away from here. I did lose my 98 year old Father to Alzheimer's at the end of January. The last 3 years have been extremely tough. Time to move on. Thank...

    Well Ron remember the first rule of real estate is location,location,location. Hopefully your location can't really be duplicated,so maybe all your tribulations will be worth something.

    Fed use to be maybe 20 pct Central Bankers. Paul Volcker was the last and Greenspan the first of many lackeys for the Power Structure. I remember seeing Harry Browne at the Masonic Auditorium in San Francisco when I was in high school.Pretty young for a gold bug who read Franz Pick.

    Markets use to be better at forecasting economic problems. QE changed all that....black swans surprise markets,but how can you miss a black swan.

    Just a update on the SPX So I count 5 down from the top. That is the first necessary element for a change of trend for stocks and probably other assets. The top if it has occurred on September 2nd. A bottom is due 55 trading days from that top. Should become apparent in the next 2 weeks.

    USD demand will rise as interest rates rise. We are entering a unprecedented time.The Federal Reserve has manipulated short term rates to zero. That will come to a end as debtors and creditors become suspect and that will bring higher rates...increasing demand for the USD. When bubbles burst...

    So how will all markets react to medical tyranny? A 5th wave failure in a ending diagonal is very bearish in my experience...just a observation in unprecedented times.

    Any Klipschorn owners here?

    I certainly don't play them loud...although they don't overload the room. Now with the four Klipsch going they certainly can reach overload. The room is 16 x20 and there is a open area with a hallway and a large bath...so there is plenty of space for the sound to vent. No complaints as I have...

    Any Klipschorn owners here?

    My 1989 Khorns have the composite lenses same as these heresys. The tried and true mid driver is the K55V mine is a K52 Hepner....the 52 is well thought of or so I've been told. I do like the fact that all four use the non metal lens...although I didn't plan it that way. All sound very good...

    Any Klipschorn owners here?

    I found a pair of Klipsch Heresy series 6 speakers locally;couldn't resist. So now I have a bedroom full of Klipsch and they certainly fill the bedroom. The Khorns are still obviously the primary speakers. The series 6 have the Hepner K52 midrange horn which uses the composite horn My Khorns use...

    To me it looks like we are close to a major trend change. Maybe days away... Watch Japan Japan completed a cycle B wave top in February. The wave V top occurred at the Covid top in February 2020 in the Dow From the Covid low was a primary wave A. From that low the Dow has been in a irregular...

    Ron, The only thing I can say is I think BTC is about the only free market in the world,with out manipulation by Central banks. I think it counts beautifully. Here is Japan...pulled this off my screen a minute ago....to my eye it is clearly impulsing down in a 5,3,5,3...but it doesn't quite...

    If BTC tops at a typical 62 pct retracement and starts declining in another 5 wave impulse new lows are indicated. I.would think.a stock market top.would bring in a market break of 1500 to a 2k point loss in a day If these markets persist to advance through October then I would say the 4 year...

    Cycle tops occur in the first week of September and the rally is approaching the 62 pct retracement of the first decline The Stock market cycle top is due also. Cycles can invert. The 4 year cycle low is due in 2022,the 9 year in 2023 and the 40 year in 2024.
