    1 g to 1.5 g with rec of 1.25g Brian. There was a very slight creak in the cantilever at higher weights(cantilever is incredibly thin) suggesting it wanted a lower level. its silent now.

    Decided to completely re set up the cart. Not easy when you can only stand over unit for 2 mins at a time lol.
    Still I found a couple of issues and have sorted them. I hope. Retracked it at its desired 1.25 gm give or take a hundredth. Seems to be behaving at moment. It does show up any dirt or flaws though due to its low track weight and profile.

    ADC! Now that's a name I haven't heard in a while. I had an ADC 'table back in the 70's. With ADC cart. An awesome combination in its day! Any day, I'd love to have it back.

    Great cart. Quite sophisticated yet has a good output. The integra shell is carbon fibre and give bi direction setup. Mines a mk1 but might get a mk 2 stylus for it later. Supposed to be interchangable and give it a good lift

    That sounds like a great upgrade path that won't break the bank. I'm forever worrying about where I will go next, nice to know you can change the stylus and get an upgrade! I wish I could hear it!

    Nope, not ime!

    If the arm is happy with the high compliance XLM mk1 then the mk2 will be a major disappointment!
    I think they only brought out the lower compliance mk2 as the mk1 didn't suit a lot of arms.
    The mk1 sounds way better, imo.
