    Would love to but my Yamaha amp arrived but it's buggered, getting hotter than a radiator and all the screw heads are knackered. Yamaha sent me a refurb rather than a new unit!!!!!!!! The top of the amp was 48oC after and hour. Heatsinks were 65oC

    Turns out that Yamaha UK have no stock so it now wont be here until about the 22nd November.

    I'll post a coupe of photos but one of the screws was hanging out.

    Not what you expect after spending £4000, although it is the best sounding amp I've ever heard.

    I’ve always like the Technics 1200 series TTs, but have never been able to move away from my Garrard. The 1200G is stunning. What do you think of the stock tonearm? I’ve often wondered if it actually not a bad arm but just needs a bit of fine tuning like setting the bearings and even a thin sliver of foam pushed down the arm can do wonders for a tonearm.

    No worries, but what's wrong with the supplied Technics headshell. It'll be perfectly good for that cartridge, as it doesn't need any added mass. What made you go for a Jelco headshell, which TBH, isn't really much of an upgrade?

    There are much better options around, Andrew, if you truly want to upgrade your headshell. Sorry to hear about your amp. That's pretty disgraceful from Yamaha, when you're spending that kind of money!
