Re: Ping Mosin, Tubesforever et al re: idler noise reduction

The 1210 is very quiet. I'm Glad you mentioned it because I used to have my AT440 on the 1210 and was bothered by the amount of surface noise it picked when listening through the headphones. I have my Grado on the 1210 now and its silent. The 440 is on the Rek O Kut. I haven't listened to vinyl vial the headphones in a while. Last time I did, I had the Grado on the Rek O Kut and I remember thinking it was the quieter table. I wonder if the increased background noise via the cans is a function of the cart rather than the table. Thats a little confusing because the 440 is very quiet when played through the speakers. I don't recall any posts suggesting it picked up more surface noise. This requires more tinkering.

Its interesting that you were stationed here. Things have changed a lot. Things were restructured about a billion times since the early 80's. You know the military - change as the illusion of progress. Now we do primarily space applications and "Lasers." Its an exciting place to work and I really like Albuquerque. I'm ready to move on. We're heading to Los Angeles in a couple months. I'm sure that will be a love/hate kinda thing. Did you enjoy it here? I imagine it was pretty podunk here back then? I get the strong since this place has grown significantly in the past decade. Were you an Air Force officer? How'd you enjoy that? I was a prior enlisted Army guy. Let me tell you, a commission in the Army is a totally different animal that enlisted Army. I had a blast when I was 18 and a junior enlisted soldier. However, give me the Air Force commission any day.
