After seeing (and being slightly envious of) Mikey’s new SP10, I thought I would share some pictures of my new turntable:

If there’s love for how it all matches I should probably upload a speaker picture too; they’re finished in the same wood veneer as the amps 😊

Thank you all. It sounds alright too. I had to try a few different cartridges before I really enjoyed it. Now running the Ortofon Cadenza Bronze I was going to sell to try and balance the books and it sounds stunning.

Magnificent getting all the wood to match.

What other cartridges did you try? There are lots of good reports for the Hana ML.

I have yet to dip my toe in the MC cartridge area, still using my 2M Black.

My favourite cartridge is an Audio Technica ART-1, I felt it was lacking in the bass slightly in this set-up. I then tried a Denon 103 not expecting it to work in the arm and I was right, the bass came back but it just didn’t sound right for me. The Cadenza Bronze sounds sublime but I have only listened to half an album so far with it...
