Good evening Marco!!!!
The clamp is ace! I'm really impressed at the overall sound even with the basic cartridge I'm using at the mo (Goldring Elektra). I'm hoping that the 103 is back soon (Been nearly 3 months now).
I've been using the clamp and achromat since Jan. I was pleased when I ready the thread you started about the clamp. I must admit, I prefer the look of yours~!!
Got the cable ready to rewire the arm (which will definitely be sorted before the Denon comes back!!) After that, just the feet then i'll sit back and listen for a bit before I tackle the phono stage. Currently I've got the phono stage from the Merdian 200 series pre running stand alone with a decent PSU but I think i'll end up going valve
I need to sort this blue led fetish out! I've even been messing with filters on the SB display!!!

Lyrics are the ramblings of man, sometimes inspired by The Creator, most often, not.
But music (melodies, harmonies, rhythms), that's God stuff.
Always was. Always will be.
One of the biggest lies ever told was that only certain kinds of people should listen to certain kinds of music.
