That looks superb and with a Cadenza Black! Wowww!!!

I have just bought my first digital scale after using a Shure mechanical one for years.

It does the same thing and varies even if I manage to get the stylus in the little black centre!

It is...

Welcome Keith from a fellow Geordie although I have been down in London so long you would nivvor guess!

Hi Andrea,

Unfortunately it is sold. If you look on the Emporium website they had one on there.

Kind regards,

Using a Rothwell MCL through a valve MM phono stage (3x Mullard ECC83's) witha Jubilee. Very happy but never tried the ST80.

Did have a Noteworthy Audio step up which was decent and great for the...

I think your understanding is wrong.

Unless there are lots of problems with the sound you are fine and haven't got a mismatch.

Hi Lee,

What sort of problems are you encountering that makes you feel the need for attenuators?

I have a valve pre and a ss power amp and there was audible hiss. which I found irritating.

I...

I had my Benz Wood SL retipped years ago and it was returned with some of that blue putty which I used frequently. Unfortunately after a little over a year the tip fell off. It may be in the putty.

Ran a VTL with EL34's for years and found them weak for my speakers. Tried Svetlanas, JJ's and Tungsols with the latter being the best and middle being worst by a margin.

Thought it was because...

You have a problem.
I had the CD63 KI Signature and never really got on with the sound. I tried a few from Ayre, Meridian and Naim and ended up with a Naim CD5X.
It is not as good as my vinyl but...

I had a Benz SL Wood which I was very happy with. I do prefer the Ortofon Jubilee. It is difficult to get the sweet spot but once achieved there is a lot more of everything over the Benz.

Keep an...

Try some Rothwell attenuators plugged in at the power amp end.

I had the same problem as you. I have a VTL valve pre and XTC transistor power amp and the noise floor was high.

I thought about...

It's not really Marco.

We are all intermingled and England hasn't forgotten Scotland. Nor does London ignore Scotland.

I am English, Scottish and Irish and consider myself British. I was Born...

We will all find out but I will tell you a story.

When I was a schoolboy in the 70's I was collecting for Barnardos in St Andrew's Square and an owld biddie came up and said are you collecting for...

If you look at London it is predominately Labour. Corbyn isn't Labour. He is a communist and it would have taken this country back to the 70's but without decent music.

I passed my driving test...

I thought i would just revive this as it is now a month since I had the Rothwell attenuators in.

I have now forgotten about them but my albums and stereo are much happier.

I have a quiet...

No they don't. Krankie does, Scotland doesn't.

Spot on. Corbyn would have been the worst thing ever to happen to this country.

There is a What HiFi review just out which makes it sound a little disappointing although with gorgeous looks.

It would be interesting to see how it compares with your real world view.

Or try one of the Rothwells.

The nicest stuff I have heard recently was the Chord Shawline X at the HIFI show. It is probably more than you are looking for at £30/ metre but I was impressed and preferred it to their next one up...

They do seem expensive but I think I remember a glowing write up in HIFI World for the even more expensive ones.

I wouldn't be surprised if they do make a positive difference though.

I have...

Maybe a wire is loose or crossed.

Biwiring should be suddenly causing hum.

Doesn't sound right but doesn't sound like worn stylus.

If there is loads of gunk have you cleaned your records and are you playing them wet?

The bottom of the cartridge should be approximately...

Both my pre and power have two pairs of sockets so tried it with 2 pairs of VdH First Metals. No change, no magic moment, no eureka.
