Seany Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 (edited) Item: the Wand 9.5 inch plus tonearm Location: Melbourne Price: $350 Item Condition: some scratches from the sharp tonearm rest - applied foam to the rest after noticing. Reason for selling: quite frankly - i am going to hate parting with this arm - it has been the best sounding arm in my system so far... I have moved to a linear air bearing. Payment Method: Pickup - Cash Extra Info: Pictures: to follow Edited July 20, 2016 by Seany Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SETfan Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 It would have been Xmas come early for me if this had come up 2 months ago before I bought my new Wand Classic!! This has to be the bargain of the century - I love the sound of mine (it replaced a Jelco 750) and highly recommend it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ochremoon Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 (edited) Damn. Would have got this for my JN Lenco, but checking the classifieds about 6 times a day isn't often enough it seems.. Edited July 20, 2016 by ochremoon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaky Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Bad luck Shaky, mine is on a Lenco with PTP and its a great combo, I have just the same turntable setup, with a vacant spot for an arm just like this one! Bugger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought it might be an interesting comparison if you got the Wand and also had an Audiomods arm (I think Peter from PTP fame sells both arms) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seany Posted July 20, 2016 Author Share Posted July 20, 2016 (edited) I have heard the audiomods.... a beautiful tonearm - I still preferred the wand in my setup Edited July 20, 2016 by Seany Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SETfan Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Am happy to hear that! Its not the most user friendly design, and certainly nowhere near as adjustable as an Audiomods arm (or the Jelco 750 I had before it), but there is something special about it's natural and organic presentation. I am definitely a unipivot fan (if this is part of the reason for this). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seany Posted July 20, 2016 Author Share Posted July 20, 2016 Hi Setfan - the wand is truly right up there with the best i think.... Kudos to Simon - he has made something very special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought it might be an interesting comparison if you got the Wand and also had an Audiomods arm (I think Peter from PTP fame sells both arms) Picked it in one. Audiomods arm already resides on my Lenco. But there's room for another arm, especially if it was a Wand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
