I had my wife sit in our car with three pillows on her lap and the turntable on top of those, during our move. She is a good woman!! I guess I should have treated the SUT with the same gentleness.

Ye Gods!! Just goes to show what they say about good women and rubies

Well, right after my last post, I received a phone call to come and pick up the new turntable cover. It looks really nice, considering that is is a plexiglass box! I have always preferred seeing turntables without any clunky cover sitting over top of them, but my opinion changed after the cartridge accident

The hifi stands are actually really affordable stands built in China. If you are interested, I can ask my dealer for the name, as I have forgotten what it is. You should be able to source them in the UK I believe. In Canada they have a retail price of CAD$550 (£315) per stand which gives you three layers. There is enough profit in each stand to get a bit of a deal on each one from your dealer. I got about CAD$75.00 off of each stand.

I was really pleased as they are almost as good performance wise, as the top notch stands like the Reference Line from Atacama or Quadraspire but they are a fraction of the cost. I really wanted the X-Reference from Quadraspire, but it was (**cough**) a bit more expensive

I was able to acquire a used 5 tier Hutter (pics in the Gallery) but trying to get extra items is a nightmare.
It would be better if SWMBO would let me take over the dining room but she having non of it...........cause she hates anything audio!!

On cleaning days I remove the headshell from the arm and take my box with all the headshells into my study where they are safe. I do this every Monday night.

That is a very sensible thing to do!

That is one nice looking and sounding system.

I have the Voyd Ref with SMV and Io into an M6 and the E/SPe silver siggies. The power amp, Conquest silver signatures have just gone back to Audionote. I guess you are missing the Gold and it is always difficult to make do when you know what it can sound like when it really works well. But just think a new Io Gold, yum, yum. The factory looked very, very busy when I was down there last week.
