Nice one... Now pop a cartridge on it and get it listened to! We all want to know how it compares with your Linn ;)

Would love to but my Yamaha amp arrived but it's buggered, getting hotter than a radiator and all the screw heads are knackered. Yamaha sent me a refurb rather than a new unit!!!!!!!! The top of the amp was 48oC after and hour. Heatsinks were 65oCQuote:

I'll post a coupe of photos but one of the screws was hanging out.
Not what you expect after spending £4000, although it is the best sounding amp I've ever heard.
Will be fitting this but still waiting on my Jelco headshell!Quote:

I’ve always like the Technics 1200 series TTs, but have never been able to move away from my Garrard. The 1200G is stunning. What do you think of the stock tonearm? I’ve often wondered if it actually not a bad arm but just needs a bit of fine tuning like setting the bearings and even a thin sliver of foam pushed down the arm can do wonders for a tonearm.
No worries, but what's wrong with the supplied Technics headshell. It'll be perfectly good for that cartridge, as it doesn't need any added mass. What made you go for a Jelco headshell, which TBH, isn't really much of an upgrade?Quote:
