Congrats Robbie, looks beautiful! Please tell a bit about this particular tone arm? It's not the original EPA-100 I see from your signature, but its not a SL-1200 variant either?

Lovely! Bet the Audiomods arm sound exquisite! I just changed the arm on my Techy too, have a look in my Gallery-thread! :)

Sure Mel,
Have a looksee here!

Thanks Ivo!,
The Techie was forced to leave due to a move. It has been replaced by another CD-spinner though, an Audio Research CD-3 MkII.

Lovely photos Parkie! And of course the Burmester looks like business! Has you own transport returned?

Thanks Jerry, Oliver and Mika! :)

Excellent! Great piccies as usual!

I agree! I like seeing your photos and reports on everything from fat biking in the snow to turntables!

Bloody brilliant!

It (the new SP-10R) sure does sound impressive on the two occasions i’ve heard it! So impressive actually that my friend ordered one ;)

While i’m at it! I recently sold my trusty Michell Orbe SE, with a Technoarm and Benz Wood SL. My intent was to research a new vinyl spinner, and some time in the fall or so go hunting for a new...

Thanks for the comments guys!
Good to hear that the olde loved Wharfedales gets looked after! Kudos!
And as Struth points out, the Focals are way too expensive not to be handled with kid gloves...

An absolutely stunning recording in my opinion, lovely on vinyl!
