I think I am nearing audio nirvana, but don’t tell anyone.
Rebuilds on AN UK carts are very good value, and come back effectively good as new
And I have a 1042 and I wouldn't take 10 in exchange for an IO tbh

any thoughts on the spacers between armboard and sub-chassis? I have a set of 6mm aluminium spacers, but normally use 9mm brass spacers as they sit the armboard level with the top plate, but I never thought about whether they would change the sound. Any thoughts? aluminium, brass or stainless steel? and possibly also the 4 bolts holding the armboard in place
