How often do you come across Wilson Benesch ACT-0.5 tone arm . . .
A tonearm? Isn't that one of those funny pivoted thingies that you attached a cartridge to? I see them in the strange audio museums sprinkled sparsely around the country. As for the Benesch - I don't know it specifically. I stopped being interested in tonearms after the SME V & IV (great, great arms that I made a lot of silly money with in the late 80s).

(For those not in the know, cartridges are antique electromagnetic archival extraction devices used to hover in vinyl grooves on things called records & that were often made by some Swiss scientist who also makes Samurai swords while singing opera).

Yes. Toronto - out of a home office. But I cover NC, SC, TN, GA, AL & FL only now. Every few years I carve off some territory & give it to our junior guys. Just gave up TX, OK, AR, LA & MS.
