    1st job to do today to get the 774 ready to fit was to drill the head stock as the 2m black has captive threads in the cartridge.


    2nd was to make a new bias weight line,the one that came with the arm had previously snapped twice and repaired,consequently the line was too short.


    the weights now sit much better and cover the full range of the arm,before they tipped past 90 degrees.


    now on to the tonearm board....after a cup of tea!

    Quick question,

    I believe the alphason has silver tonearm wire. Will you be rewiring the Mission with silver to do the comparison ?

    Ah, ok. Well I found the standard mission wiring a bit dull and lifeless. Dark even. It came to life when I rewired them. Im currently using Cardas copper which sound every bit as good as the Kabusa wire.

    Looking forward to your findings.

    If youre happy to DIY, get the cardas off ebay. Thats what I used. Think it was £15 for 24" I send it all up to J7. He said the wire was a bit stiffer than the one he uses but its essentially the same stuff.
