You had ago on it yet then Al? Let's see some pics man.

[Audio Al]

Yes Martin , spun a few discs today

I must say the build quality is epic :eek: and the weight of the TT is even more epic :eek::eek:

I tested the run down time of the platter from 33.3 rpm to stop and it is a incredible 66.43 seconds without the braking , Yes over 1 minute :eyebrows: that's some friction free bearing .
Will dig out the camera tomorrow :)

Did I say it's bloddy heavy :eek:

[cuddles]

Congratulations :) I love the industrial, purposeful design of this record player. My favourite bit? The start/stop pad!

[Pharos]

What is that featured rack, which looks expandable with units?

[Bigman80]

Not the standard arm? What is it.

Very nice aren't they the new 1210s. Congratulations!

[Dubster68]

It´s my pride and joy: the Glanz MH-94S http://glanz.tech/e/collection/mh94s104s124s/

Looking good Al - but you should really remove the lid.

Great decks, I don't know how they do it for the money, especially when you see these things that are just tat really and they're 5 times the price or more.

It´s my pride and joy: the Glanz MH-94S http://glanz.tech/e/collection/mh94s104s124s/It looks great together.

[Audio Al]

Looks like 2 threads running on one post here :scratch:

I have a std arm

[krugdoktor]

[QUOTE=krugdoktor;1123325]It looks great together.
And it sounds sublime!!!
Easily the best sound (with SPU) I ever had at home!
The absolutely unerring stability of the turntable combined with the „easy going“ implicitness of the Glanz guiding the SPU through the grooves is something to behold!
My 1210 with external Paul Hynes supply and the same arm was great, but the 1200G easily surpassed it!
Great theater!

PS.: Sorry for hijacking your thread Al, but sometimes my enthusiasm overwhelms me.

Not so good news
I had a letter on the door mat this morning , :)
I dared to drive into London on a sunday and collect the TT and now have a
LEZ £80 fine to pay ,
Oh how they exploit the motorists :(

Could always sell something to pay for it lol

[struth]

just diesels isnt it?

I saved £700 on the full asking price so I think that covers it ;)

[Bigman80]

Savvy purchasing.

Yes you can have a worn out 20 year old stinking petrol engine car and thats OK :scratch:

[allthingsanalogue]

Looks great.

Have you tried using the extra weights for the rear of the arm? Also you could get a custom made weight made rather than needing blu-tac.

[Audio Al]

Well spotted , I purchased this as a second user at a £700 reduction from new :eyebrows:
The seller assures me the weights were in the box , I have assured the seller that they were not in the box , He is now ordering 2 replacements , Time will tell if they ever turn up , If not I will order 2 :)
Thanks
