    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “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!”

    ive not set it up properly geoff,im just pleased its back to 2 channels,its humming more than the alphason although ive fixed that as well by connecting an earth from the amp to one of the radiator pipes behind my rack.
    i will spend some time on set up tomorrow as im off work with a cold at the moment.
    im not sure what the wiring is on the zeta,its supposed to be cardas incognito but it doesn't look like the incognito on the alphason.

    here's some photo's after setting it up properly yesterday.
    there's no 'night and day' difference over the hr100 but then i new there wouldn't be,both highly regarded arms.
    the zeta feels and looks like its been very well engineered,solid looking stance and up for a fight!

    the bias setting is like a breath of fresh air compared to the hr100's string and weight method,the zeta uses a small dial to adjust bias,balancing the arm in the centre of the platter small increments anti or clockwise has the arm moving to the left or to the right,try doing that with the alphason!

    both arms handle the decca c4e,i have a gut feeling the zeta is better suited though being 5g heavier than the hr100.
    once the longer cartridge bolts arrive i'll stick the rock paddle back on,the extra weight moves the counter weight further outwards,i might make up some heavier counter weight plates in brass to bring it closer in.

    all in all im very happy with my purchase
