Ahhh, your spinning black disc's again. Enjoy. The tonearm cable shouldn't need any burning in, it should be good to go. I don't think your going to hear any additional changes.

Well, must have set-up the tonearm cart about four times now, first time was nice but I just new I could get set-up better.
The Fritz Gyger S stylus profile does not take any prisoners, it demands you set it up right otherwise.....
So, another long evening / night and sounding fab music flowing with that rightness you sit back and hope for as your system does its thing.
Albums sound sonically right, consistently across a side, surface noise was a bit exaggerated before, not a good sign, now all but gone, silent passages and between tracks, eerie silence.
Now for some Bunny Wailer....

Thanks for starting this thread Robert. Given the status of the (modded) SL1200 on this forum, the question surely is how does the SP10 II compare with your previous, fully modded SL1200? Apologies if you've already covered this elsewhere.
Cheers, Jeff
SL1200 slaughtered I would imagine.

Not sure when exactly when that will be as I'm enjoying the SP10 / evaluation so much, seriously so much, but it will come, God willing and will likely be a separate / new thread
Thanks Jeff

That looks superb and with a Cadenza Black! Wowww!!!

Thanks Steve, The Cadenza Black is a lovely cart, however, since the Fritz Gyger S re-tip, it is forensic, energetic and takes its excellent detail retrieval to another level - gets deep inside recordings, so hot tracks are presented as such, balanced as balanced and so on, you get everything, warts an all, there's no glossing over - coupled with the SP10 it's true hi-fidelity, as in faithful to what is in those grooves /recorded - not for all, but i love it
* Just listened to Steely Dan, 'Caves of Altamira' and 'Haitian Divorce' just finished as we speak - fabulous !
