My 2019 Update Thread - My final system I think.

Good read that, thanks.

Alan Sircom really likes the Houdini as well,
A reviewer I have respect for since the old Hifi World mag days.

Got me interested,
Having a rummage around, reading a long thread over on the Wam about it, mostly the usual moans from folk that haven't tried it.

Only thing is I'd not want to go back to the Rega sound, still need that vinyl magic.
Cart/tonearm interaction can BE the sound of a deck, but with a money back guarantee no harm in taking a Punt, see what happens.

If I can get more out the deck again, then great.

OK,
Fitted Achromat and reset VTA.
Took the chance to check turntable was Bob-on level too, checked tracking force too.
Not going down the rabbit hole with VTA, parallel to record surface is good enough for now.





Love what this mat has done, decks sounding noticably better.
The felt mat obviously wasn't the best for a heavy aluminium platter, even though its heavily damped.

Cool, good stuff.
Will do some homework on the Houdini, thanks Josie for the heads up.
