Id strongly recommend rewiring it. Mine sounded shit when I first set it up. I had just sold a Sony PS-X70 and thought id made a huge mistake. After a quick chat with Geoff, I had ordered new wire and thought "£25 to see if it works, if not, ill sell it and buy another sony" I still have the Mission and that says everything.Originally Posted by jamie123

I know the Alphason HR100S is an old design now but it really was a very sophisticated construction and still is in many ways.

Never had any experience with either arm but interested in the comparison. The Alphason is an arm I have always fancied. Personally if I was in your shoes I would try a couple of different cartridges before going for a rewire.

the trouble is the cost involved in doing that,the re wire is about £20.

I don't mean buy new cartridges. I would expect you have a few oldies hanging around just to see if the comparison still holds up with those. Particularly as you have had problems setting the 2M Black to your liking previously.

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!”
