Listening to John Coltrane and the SPU has completely transformed this deck. You can keep you Denon 103 and your Shure V15 mk 3 this baby really rocks. It took me an hour to be completely bowled over by what it can do. I've now been completely spoiled and don't think I could go back to lower spec MC's on this deck. What's even more impressive is the Paradise phonostage I use just seems to work perfectly with this cart. To say I'm completely chuffed is a massive understatement. In fact I'm now on the lookout for a Royal GM mk2 or if one ever comes up for sale SPUA95. Steve has another toy waiting for me next week with a little luck. I'll probably scribble some thoughts on a seperate thread with regards the performance of this awesome SPU.
Is the bias weight support correctly set? The support should be set so that the bias weight thread is at right angles to the notched stub behind the pivot housing, when the stylus is playing the outer groove of the LP.
Probably not so will have a look tonight, we'll spotted. I was enjoying a classical and jazz session last night until 11.30pm, the cart sounded wonderful.
Not been on he for a while. My 301 is now going to Dr. Bastin for some TLC. Really nice chap.
That's right Barry they aint like the later Wheel bias support. Looks nice that Andy..Quote:

It's a Series 2. Looks like a later model without the split counterweight.
Thanks Jay.
