S'alright, I'm a much misunderstood gent these days - mumble, mumble, nobody loves me, nobody cares.....

Anyone for a cuddle?
Hi Dave-
Thanks for the info on the Achromat 1200 version. Reckon I'll try it as one of my next tweaks.
The Jelco 750D arm gave a significant jump in imaging and depth of field over the space-age but stock Technics arm, although I can't be sure if this was because the stock arm was 35 years old and well used, or that the Jelco is really that much better. Probably a bit of both.
In any case , the Jelco really woke up my DL-103SA and the system is truly beginning to sing. Seems to get better the more I play it. Come to think of it, so do I!
As long as the Jelco 750 stays well under £500 including cable, it'll remain a giant killer IMO. I'm sure the standard 1100 tonearm is fine still, but the Jelco has a heavier duty bearing cage and optional damping which I'm sure is superior in every way :)
17 pages later and its arms you are talking about, how many members bought an achromat then? should have gone to specsavers, sorry I meant should have bought a blue Horizon mat instead, oh well at least I have one and think its the best mat there is, difficult to review anything personally when I sell them so I left it to Paul Rigby of record collector fame who was very impressed with it, I have run out of stock now until the next lot arrives doh!
I listened to the herbies mat the other night and it does not do the business for me against my BH, even with the stock platter and no oyaide mat (oyaide less again as sold the one I was using to another good customer / friend).
Should I try a funk firm mat or has anyone used the blue horizon one against it, I have sold quite a few BH's so there must be someone who can opinionate?
I am wavering towards a Jelco myself, if I managed to get one for £250 I would snap it up.Quote:
