I have been using a 40th anniversary edition Turner RK-56 with the skinny cord for about 11 years or so and am still pretty happy with it. We had to replace the switch in it around 2 years ago.

Yes they work real nice,more people should try them.
The look and feel of an RK/56 with better clarity,yet not excessive like the
AssStatic line.

I have heard they are top-notch, I will be trying one in the near future.

I might have to order one, seems like my RK-56 is petering out a bit. It's about 7 yrs old and has been pretty good. Never had an Astatic, debating on an Astatic and a Skythumper. Leaning more to the Sky!!! Skythumper should work well on my Magnum S-3?????

I use the Skythumper st 65 dx and love it. Looks and feels just like and RK56 but better sound quality and louder.

Skythumper should sound great on that S3.

I use an RK56 that I've had for about 20 years...It's been through a couple of cords and a switch but it still works great!
