I'm good friends with Clark Williams, who probably knows more about
turntable set-up than anyone else in the US (except for maybe Brooks
Berdan).

Brooks rocks, IMO.

He does. Super nice guy. Years ago, he fixed my SME V for free
because he had the part rolling around in his miscellaneous parts
drawer. Three or four years later I ran into him at an audio show,
and he remembered me even though I spent about five minutes in his
store. We talked for quite a while about all things analog.

I try to throw business his way whenever I can.

Cool. I think that he is just super. Another great SoCal turntable guy
is Randy Cooley at Optimal Enchantment. Like Brooks, he has been there
forever and does great setups. He's kind of a (now) older hippie guy.
Years and years ago, I bought my Oracle/Alphason/Dynavector and my DCM
Timewindows from him. I hadn't seen him since about 1985, but ran into
him a couple of years ago at the Stereophile show in L.A. and we
chatted. It was great to see him, and great to know that he is still in
business.-

Randy is the guy who told me not to breathe on his turntable at an
audio show in 1992. *I just wanted to see what it was. He ****ed me
off royally, and I never forgot it.

I've had several people over the years tell me what a great guy he is,
so I'll chalk it up to a bad day. *But he'll never see a penny of my
money.

And if you did spend your money here, would he let you
breathe on the $10,000 check you'll fork over?
LOL!!! I wonder how he woukd handle
one of Arny's checks!
