New Listening Room

Had a change round today so the SME V arm is now sitting on the Orbe and looking mighty fine too.








And some pictures of what has now gone on to the SP10:









Yep, got myself one of those PMAC AT1010 Mk8

Didn't like the way the ORBE looked with the SME V mounted - the pillar sticks up a lot.

Rummaged through my bits and found some bobbins:

Before (not a great photo but hope you can see how far the pillar sits above the arm board):



And after:





No noticeable difference in the SQ so happy

Your gear looks amazing Andy. Analogue heaven. How do you choose which one to use!

I don't usually like the look of the SP10 but yours is about the best I have seen. That tonearm on it looks like its got some new bearings.

Thanks. The SP10 does look good all in black. The arm has more than just the bearings and sounds fantastic.
How do I choose which one to use? With great difficulty

As the Orbe didn't sell I decided to put it back to as it was to eek the best performance from it.
Pete's Pylons, Pete's Feet and the acrylic platter.

Just needs a slight tweak as the platter is running just over 33.3 (33.4) so tomorrow I will get my DM out to play with the PSU.
