Seems I got fortunate - found an arm. Should be here at the end of next week! The price was steep, but I think it's going to be worth it.

Brilliant thread, excellent work - inspirational. And using white was ingenious.

Interesting - as I understand it, there were certain countries where the Thorens TD124 couldn't be offered, due to agreements Thorens had with importers. For these markets, the Acoustical turntable was offered instead. More at Beocentral.

In studies I've seen, people have indicated that they consider their iPhone/iPod an extension of the platform they're using it with. As there are a large number of PC-users with iPhones or iPods, don't be too surprised that they don't identify these as being from Apple - they consider them an extension of the PC they are using.
