I have one. I purchased it for the non RIAA curves for playing my 78s. It’s pretty good as a standard phono and the adjustability on the fly is really useful and fun. Is it better than an entry level Cambridge or Project, in my experience yes, a lot better. Is a better than an iFi Phono? Maybe not. Is it a hundred times more convenient and tweakable than the iFi Phono? Yes. A @Iain_r mentioned it is convenient, especially for crappy recordings. Lots of loading and tone options to get what you want. It’s a tweaker’s delight.

Such a superb album, I haven't listened to it for a while. Thanks for the reminder.

I'm not one for trendy unfiltered vino but this was delish with some Canberra truffles in an egg pasta. Savoury and a slight astringent sweetness. Allez Goulons.

Hi @Beatnik I’ll be out of Sydney by then. I can probably post it down to you as per your PM. @luiset, apologies I’ve been unable to access the cover due to house packing. I’ll PM you when I get it out unless the whole lot goes to someone.

Oh goody, I get to drop the Glen Gould quote that 'the tragedy of Mozart wasn't that he died so young it was that he lived for so long'.

Now taken.

@Gryffleswas the DC motor install easy? I've gone on to the waiting list. I might move to PTP now, the design prevented 78rpm playback but the DC motor gets around this.

I'll have to measure it when I get home tonight.

Wow, what a trip. For NYC, Definitely Downtown Music Gallery. Free gigs on Sundays. Bruce the owner also sends out weekly newsletters. http://www.downtownmusicgallery.com/ Jazz Record centre as well. https://www.jazzrecordcenter.com/ in an office building you need to use the intercom to get in and up in the lift, awesome selection. For gigs go to the Stone. Curated by John Zorn. http://thestonenyc.com/ $20 entry, get there early. Umami burger is a short walk away for post gig burgers and beer. There’s a store near the Strand bookstore as well but I can’t remember the name. I picked up some early Blue Note microgrooves. I made sure I took the price labels off those ones in case the Mrs had a peek.

If anyone in Canberra is interested in this I'll be moving down in July.
