Then it was just to make up the Cardas socketed lead (also Litz Silver
Set up and test with a couple of carts
Note the target weight for the CW was a normal weight headshell and cart but it handled the Sumiko and SPU Royal N fine with the CW a little farther out than I would recommend - did sound good!

Oh no Steve, you've really got me thinking now....... How easy is it to fit the variable height pieces? The plastic spacer has good and bad about it and is the main weakness I think and I'd love to be abe to adjust the playing height
Tear down these walls; Cut the ties that held me
Crying out at the top of my voice; Tell me now if you can hear me

Ah. I noticed that I was able to PM you, so assumed that the block was specific to speedy.steve. I'd overlooked that you are the site owner, and so any new-user PM limitations probably don't apply. I'll be back...
