In case you didn't know,joe and Mike had both ordered Lyra Kleos cartridges to go with their new VPI TT's. In the meantime Mike had bought a used Lyra Delos and allowed me to try it for a few days. I was so blown away by the Delos that I called Jeff and ordered a new Kleos for myself.

I then found out that the wait time for a new Kleos can be quite long, they are hand built by 2 Master Craftsmen in Japan,and are on backorder. So flash forward a few weeks and I call Jeff to shoot the breeze and see if he's heard anything on the Kleos , like when he might get them. Jeff tells me that Joe has told him to send me "His" Kleos when it gets there :shocking: I called Joe and tried to talk him out of it, but Joe said he would rather wait awhile and that I was all set up and running. What he really did was make an incredibly kind gesture, he knew how anxious I was for the Lyra !! :heart:
All I can say is Thank You, you are such a good friend, I'm lucky to have had the chance to know you !!

Yesterday Mike gets a call from Jeff,saying that the shipment of Kleos had showed up at the distributer. Mike is #1 on the wait list, Jeff is expecting to get a few Kleos cartridges. Its looking like , thanks to Joe, that I'm getting mine too !!!! :cryforjoy:

Then......Mike copies me on an email from Jeff.......Jeff is only getting ONE !!! :facepalm: I'm so upset that I'm almost sick. What a letdown !!

Then Mike does the unthinkable.......He tells Jeff to send me his :blush: What can I possibly say to this kindness ?? I told him 'no way", you keep it, I'll wait. But Mike says no, I want you to have it, I've got the Delos to listen to until I get mine.

It's hard for me to believe that I have found 2 friends like this, I'm truly blessed !!!

Love to you Both !!
 
Wow! I didn't even know "the rest of the story". Very cool of you Mike. So Jeff can send you mine and I'll wait a little more. It will give me time to get everything together.

Mark, enjoy the great cart. You and Mike are great friends. I am the lucky one.

It's hard to go back to vinegar after you've tasted honey.

And anyway, I couldn't stand to see a grown man cry! :)

Hey man, you'd do the same for me. I have my table, my Delos and my new phono stage.....I'm as happy as a clam. I can wait. Share the joy which is music.
 
Thanks Dewey !!

Very generous! Joe, I'm looking forward to hearing all your great gear. I'm going through my vinyl collection and making up a pile to add to what you've already started. I have...I'm guessing... three thousand LPs. I hope that you don't pass me by by the fall. Good things come......and you will have a dynamite vinyl setup soon enough.
 
It is amazing! ...To have such generous and full of love people like Mike and Joe!

I tell ya this; it's reading stuff like this, and Eric's stuff, and what Mike and Joe gave me personally that is transforming my life for the better.
I am still searching on how I can split my heart and give them both a piece of it! :heart:

Their generous gifts have nothing to do with material stuff (money), but everything to do with improving other's life musically, spiritually, and dynamically.

There are many type of people on Earth, but these two individuals shine all by themselves by being above the rest.
 
Bruce and Bob,

Thank you for your kind words. It's nice to make others happy. Music is very important to me and I am glad we are able to share it.
