I totally agree with Flo,
the Caruso head is a good sounding head for what it was made for. Buy a good amp and use your ears for measuring (it's still the best system to use, you can also add your stomach if in doubt...)

Re: Last Caruso batch January
You're right, Flo. Sometimes you have to close up with a period. You have done a lot for the vinyl cutting scene in the last 20 years, but there is no reason to be the fireworker for eveyone.
That's my opinion...

I forgot to mention: I will ship everywhere but buyer will have to take care for crating and shipping procedure.
Maybe Ebay says "no shipping" when opening the offer from outside of Germany...
