Absolutely not no. Will probably go without initially, see how it is, if no good then I'll grab the big boy one. But I'd prefer not because the thing is this a foot tall if it's on top of that big platform and I'll have to raise my screen.

I’d say the sheer weight of the thing will likely mean that you’re alright. Plus I’m guessing VPI are using some pretty good isolation feet on something that pricy.

Are you putting the parasound phono on it then or is it going completely?

The issue isn't really the cabinet. It's the spongy 1960s floors, when they move the whole cabinet moves so I don't think the weight will be enough to fix that. Iso platter has helped in the past. But we'll see.

Picking up the Halo JC3+ today, but I won't have a table to hook it up to until I grab that later this week. Current table is gonzo along with old Revel speakers and Rega Aria to trade for Halo.

So for those keeping score...

Near constant Murder Dungeon references and... IMPLICATIONS:
"That's A-OK pardner."

Feeling sorry for inanimate object:
"DON'T YOU TALK TO THAT MAN!"

“Man-child” was the actual word used, but yeah that’s the gist.

Of course, to put in context, one of the best gifts she says she ever got from me was this for our Iron anniversary:

Which she promptly had me hang by the front door where it is handy if solicitors decide to ignore polite requests to leave.

Since I was taking that picture I thought I should show off the rest of the mural she painted on the side of the book case there:

Huh… this is how you know I’m not smart. I thought a solicitor would be one who solicits. I mean i guess that is what Lawyers do, but you know what I mean.

Oh right so a solicitor is half of what you might think of as a lawyer.

We have the older split system like they have in the uk.

A solicitor deals with clients and contracts and money and conveyancing and the like. They also are directly hired by clients and so “solicit” for business, as such.

The other half, which I am, are barristers. Barristers are advocates in court and discrete legal specialists who will often be sought by solicitors to write legal opinions on less common or more complex situations. We are barred from being directly hired by clients or having any contact with their money. We are hired and paid by solicitors on their clients behalf.

That’s the only way we use that word over here? What is a solicitor to you?

I don’t think we use the word that way. But solicitation is basically knocking on your door and asking you to buy shit.
