Got my baby back!

Got my parts back from Bruce at Eminent Technology yesterday.  I have to say he is a pleasure to deal with.
I put the arm back together, mounted my Supex SDX-1100R on one of the magnesium arm tubes , checked, adjusted rechecked, readjusted, shampoo, rinse repeat. 

In the interim I upgraded the motor on my TNT 4, which worked out great. Also, picked up a Emotiva XSP-1 preamp (dealer demo), and a PS Audio S300 (and got VERY  generous trade in on my old PS Audio 5.0 preamp).

I've been listening with the new electronics using my secondary turntable, a Denon DP-1250 with a Magnepan Unitrac 1 tonearm, switching between an old Monster alpha MC and a Grado Platinum woodie for the past few weeks, very satisfied with the sound.

So I finally spun up my first record on the newly set up and WOW.   I mean WOW!  Did I say WOW!?

I could get into all the audiophiley terms and descriptions, but I won't.  All I will say is the thunderstorm at the beginning of my early self-titled Black Sabbath albn my listening room.  My wife called down from upstairs and asked if I heard thunder, that she looked outside and it was clear (ok. so I might have had it turned up a little too loud ;).

Now I'm just going to listen to my records and enjoy the hell out of them.
