This turntable is one of the best I have owned so far.  Hard to beat.

@BMW - bought it from Esteban,  so not sure if that counts as local as he lives 3 hours away

@Macgeek - I think it was there when you dropped over last.  Almost sure.

I was expecting someone to notice that the cart wire coming out of the arm was twisted around the anti-skate adjustment knob, creating huge azimuth errors,  so it was sounding like monkey ass.  Back to good sound now.   ::)

That is to this day the best sounding table I have ever heard, a lot due to the amazing cart.  However, you wait until I get done moving and get my setup set up.  :P

Funny!  I had an Aries back in the day!  Not a woody wagon but a classic K for sure!
