Being able to actually see the needle tracking while the record was playing was an eye-opener. The less powerful models are not adequate, IMO (I bought one thinking it would be, because this seemed like a lot of money). They make some really cool stuff. ---

It’s like, crazy neat. Found myself looking at dollar bills and so on. In the end, unless you have other needs for seeing really close, it’s something you won’t use very often. But still - cool tool.🤘🏼 ---

I use these for certain construction tasks, but it just struck me that they’d be good for lifting a heavy amp up, to more easily position footers under it. In the last week or so I must’ve pulled the BHK 250 off the rack a half a dozen times trying different tubes. The biggest pain is re-positioning the footers under the amp each time. Going to give these a try next time. > **[IMPROVED 3 Piece Commercial Grade Air Wedge Bag Pump Professional Leveling Kit...](https://www.amazon.com/IMPROVED-Commercial-Professional-Alignment-Inflatable/dp/B07XB4BFPP)** > > IMPROVED 3 Piece Commercial Grade Air Wedge Bag Pump Professional Leveling Kit & Alignment Tool Inflatable Shim Bag. 3 Sizes(Small, Medium, Large) for a Variety of Jobs. 300 LB Rating - - Amazon.com ---

Great idea. I ordered some Isoacoustics pucks for our 250. I am going to dig out our air wedges and give it a try. They are fantastic for getting a door or windows squared. Especially when you are doing it by yourself. ---

Yep, perfect tool for leveling a door or window, when working alone. The way my 250 sits on the bottom rack, it’s a pain lifting and positioning the footers where I want therm, especially the back of the amp, for the third footer, as there’s no way to get a good grip on the amp. ---

Audio related, I love the Best Tractor from MintLP You tell him the turntable, tonearm and alignment curve you are using and he builds this nice little mirrored protractor with the 2 null points engraved into it It’s a nifty little tool that I use between “full blown” alignment/set-up with the acoustical systems Smartractor. To satisfy my mild OCD and because I like to tweak and fiddle with the analog rig I’ll check the tracking force and do a quick alignment check with this little jig [Mint LP Solution - cleaning LPs with VPI, Loricraft, Nitty Gritty machines, Mint Tractor](http://www.mintlp.com/) ---

Works a charm. Ridiculously tiny brush turns out to be perfectly sized and shaped for the job and the fluid is mostly water, so little worry about adhesives. I know the price was preposterous, but I forgot what i paid for it; should make Al happy… ---

Had some Phillips head screws on the cover of a phono stage I couldn’t budge (a Sutherland Little LOCO I just added to my stable, what a fascinating piece of gear).

Since 1 month I have it too. I use it only 1 time a week, just to reduce the risk Al. Happy to know your opinion about this Flux and if it is safe for stylus as claimed by the German manufacturer. I bought also the Flux Turbo 2.0 > **[FLUX-Turbo](https://www.flux-hifi.de/en/products/flux-turbo/FLUX-Turbo.81536.php)** It does his job very well. ---
