    Yes, heard it at the last Owston. Not a place to make very critical judgements, but it sounded great.
    “Music has always been a matter of energy to me, a question of fuel. Sentimental people call it inspiration, but what they really mean is fuel. I have always needed fuel. I am a serious consumer. On some nights I still believe that a car with the gas needle on empty can run about fifty more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio”

    I bought one and have been listening to it on my SME series II arm and Verdier Nouvelle for about three weeks. Except for some sibilance, it has been an absolute revelation of what music is in vinyl. Dom now has a solution for the sibilance, consisting of heavier dampers, and I sent it back to him for refitting yesterday. My Ortofon 90th anniversary is back in service. Unfortunately it pales badly in comparison, sounding muddy and with limited treble.

    Highly recommended!

    Here is the Dominic Harper Cartridge as I think it is now known as, its fitted to my Clearaudio Innovation
    with 12" carbon fibre arm sounding quite exquisite, I wonder why I bother with PC audio!................

    Oh, and whatever happened to the idea of that Delrin platter mat you were going to have made - is that still happening?
