Jimbo of this parish was almost insistent that I replace my original V blocks in the arm and so I ordered some Desmo V blocks.

Having taken the old ones out I could inspect them very closely and they were shot. The V was very worn.

I am sure those of you that have heard my system and thought it is good will be as impressed as I am with the upgrade.

:wow: :eek: :champagne:

What an improvement. More cohesion to every instrument and voice. More detail. More 'solidity' of image. Lower surface noise.

Brilliant. Stunning sound from vinyl with an other wise stock GL75.

Happy happy bunny :cool:

Yeah. The old rubber V blocks left a lot to be desired. As they age the knife edge cuts down into them and the blade gets 'sandwiched' limiting movement and ruining the sound. Hard blocks are way better. I made my own from tufnol, worked fine.

Great result Alan, definitely then number one improvement for the Lenco that can easily be heard.

Same result here Alan . Big improvement in all areas with the Desmo blocks . I couldn't inspect the old ones though as they had basically turned to dust :)

Just goes to show how far you can push the little Lenco's. ;)
