    Very posh, looks good. Hopefully True Point will get going on them.

    just set this up ,, the set up has to be checked again , as i seem to be getting more from the techno arm than before ,, more bass tightness, and more mid range ,, also had a problem with a squeek off the locing nut ,which as been sorted by the use of a ptfe washer ,
    also added a home made rubber base washer ,4mm thick rubber ,, how ever it looks rough and is,, i am going to use some nylon spacers with a oring on the top , 5mm high 10mm diameter ,, testing all this week ,, i am alos not sure how long the brass will saty the bright color before it changes color ,

    Bling tastic

    Splash of lacquer should stop the brass from changing colour I believe.

    The arm base sounds promising if its uplifting the arm to that level - great result so far!!

    HI Andy the armbaord is sitting on a home made rubber ring to help stop any vibration off the chassis , i may buy some sorbothane ,the cost is rediculas for a peace that is 12x12cm and 3mm thick , also has to be 70duro and not the softer stuff ,, i have seen that just turn to mush when preassure is applied,
    i have been listening to RADIO KAOS , a very hard lp to get every last bit of information out of , but now it is not a problem,,

    Charlie from true point put a dimple in the top by the hole that goes to the front , it is spot on the 222mm i used the stevenson template off vinyl engine to set it up ,, sounds great ,, but more to test tomorrow, one thing was a squeek of the nut when tighting so i have used a ptfe washer to stop that works a treat ,, as ususal i have used nylon screws to hold the armboad in place , but so far so good,
