Nice, please, feel free to use it more! It's a brand new stylus, so could do with some decent hours on it.Quote:

Looking great, Gromit! I bet those little speakers sing on the end of that ES.
Oh yesh. :eyebrows:Quote:

I'd only put about 3-4 hours on the 1042 at which point I put it safely back in the box and used the DL110. However, yesterday I though 'hell, Neil's been such a top bloke lending it to me it would be rude - and unappreciative - not to put some more miles on it'. So I did. And through the Dino it sounds superb - there's a fine match there, that's for sure. The DL110 sounds slightly better through the Sony amp's MM stage, but the Reson/1042 sounds better with the Dino and out of the two combinations is superior, without a doubt.
Another cartridge to have a play with - popped over to Theo's place this morning, and he has very kindly let me borrow his ACE to try...

Sounding rather nice, I must admit. :)
Couple more piccies - especially now the Benz will be staying at Gromit Towers. :)

Note to self - give the dust a quick flicky before picky. :D
Looking good!
Sounding it too. :)Quote:

It's a really natural, open and rounded performer but doesn't fall into the trap of sounding 'hifi' or dull. Well chuffed. The guys at HFW certainly go their view on this one right.
Richard, I command you at once to submit those 'dusty' pictures to the 'Get yer turntables out for the lads' thread, in AA, as they are flippin' brill! Now run along... ;)Quote:
