Stylus Needle Turntable ADC INTEGRA XLT XLM XLM mkII VLM RSZ RZL RZD 4111-DET
16 June 2017
Cheap and effective
Picked up a vintage Dual turn with an ADC xlm improved mkii phono cartridge. Table was in questionable condition so I wanted to make sure that it was working before investing heavily in it. Well, that cartridge is well regarded and genuine stylus could run $80-90. Various generic replacements ran price gamut from 50 to 30 to 15 dollars. For my purposes, I hoped that the least expensive would serve - - and it does, thank you, quite nicely. Everything sounds great. Now maybe, if I elect to make this Dual my main table, I'll upgrade when feeling flush, and keep this as backup. But I am more heavily invested in my Bang and Olufsen and will probably sell the Dual (forgive me but one really doesn't need dual turntables!) and give buyer this working needle plus old original to make them think about various possible styli.
Mike Sigel's Perfect Pool 3 DVD Set - Free Ship

Covers Basics but Agonizingly Slow
As other have written, Siegal is fine but his companion (who wound up in jail for 10 years) is a royal pain. He repeats everything twice, or maybe 10 times that, promotes his other products, and sort of ruins the whole thing. Now, it does cover basics, it is fun to see Siegal, and 3 dvds for price is a deal. But Siegal alone could cover same material better on one disc. Not recommended.

No Young Frankenstein--But Bloody Funny!
This is a wonderful parody of the most famous Dracula films. It may not be of the classic one-of-the-funniest-films-ever-made status that is so well earned by Young Frankenstein, but it is a film you should enjoy time and time again. Leslie Nielson makes a marvelous Dracula and Peter MacNichol is inspired as the insane insect-gulping Renfield. In one of the best moments in the film, MacNichol snatches insects out of the air and off the ground as an incredulous Harvey Korman, as Dr. Seward, slowly catches on. Scenes that are authentic to the 1931 original, such as the usherette at the opera, are hysterical--and may not be fully appreciated if one has not recently viewed the original film. Brooks himself is funny as Van Helsing and Steven Weber is very funny as Jonathan Harker--who is visibly dismayed as the women in his life make the transition from civilized British damsels to sexy, passion-filled Vamps. Finally, the women in this film are sexy. Although the scene only last a minute, Dracula's ample-breasted brides in Transylvania ooze sensuality as they attempt to lunch on the unsuspecting Renfield: You may never think of polishing furniture the same way again. And Lysette Anthony gives simply one of the sexiest performances I've ever seen as Lucy, both before and after she is victimized by Dracula. All in all, a highly enjoyable, and actually fairly effective rendition of the Dracula legend in stupendous color. This film has been under-rated: don't deny yourself a very good time if you are a Brooks fan or a Vampire fan.
