    Just fitted my new cart. Initial impressions are very promising-

    “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”

    Yes indeed, one of those - can't stop flicking though the collection to see how it sounds - moments. :-)

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    How did you mount it in the fixed headshell Mission arm Ali? The long cantilever looks extremely vulnerable - I'm sure I would have broken it were it mine. Does the cartridge come with a guard to protect the stylus during installation?

    The headshell is fixed Barry, but the arm can be removed, so carts are easy to mount.

    No, no guard!

    I was shitting myself..

    I've never used a Benz Ali. Heard a couple, but not long enough to form a proper opinion. They seem pretty well liked.
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    Very much liking what I'm hearing so far Geoff. A natural and musical sound would be an inital comment.
