Stands included as well but I think you would probably be better off with some open frame stands for them.
I've got a later pair of these and I won't be changing them any time soon
Yes!Quote:

No feedback and no details. We know what it is but does he actually have one I wonder:scratch:
i suppose the other thing to push the price up is the arm re wire.Quote:

It turned out to sound better than the Ittok I had on my 401, so the Ittok went (and some modded Rega arms) and the 774 has been here since (along with a couple more --- just in case :)).Quote:

Don't know why, but it just manages to sound better than most other belters. The Heybrook TT2 is excellent too, but fetches a bit more as a rule.
