Matt The Funk Firm and Houdini the latest offering from Funk.

What I wrote is mirrored on another forum so I'm not the only one to have thought this. Surely if they launched this product, you would have thought they would at least have their website / shop up and running to take orders or at least enquiries.
I wish the company well with the Houdini even though I've had poor dealings with them in the past regarding quality and repairs.
PS if you don't like my opinion or anyone else's for that matter then you too can choose to ignore them. Simples
Edit. I see why you have responded, you appear to sell or stock the Houdini. Nuff said.

As posted elsewhere, I have solved my heavy DL103 issue.
I have reset up the cartridge, but 5his time I have increased the bias to be pretty much the same as the VTF, and believe it or not it is working great.

So either the bias was to blame, or my previous set up was at fault. A classic ID 10 T error?

Very happy with this now.

It’s a keeper....

Well had a reply from Arthur on Friday and there had been an oversight on his part which he apologised for. It's was sent out Friday but unfortunately didn't get here yesterday, so will probably be Monday.

Well if it works as stated by Arthur, then I can't see how I wouldn't love it. I'm certainly excited to try it.

What type of headshell did you use to fit the Houdini? As I believe you have to screw from top and bottom of the Houdini. I have Audio technica as my preferred headshells but these use a captive thread. I do have a Jelco headshell but can't remember the weight of it. Think it may be twelve grams? So might have to add a couple of grams for my SC35C to work.

If you have captive threads, I believe that you can fit the Houdini upside down. Matt did a video on this somewhere.

Funk also a Houdini ready headshell I believe. It gets back the 6mm of VTA you lose. Useful for SL1200s with standard arms etc.

Arthur did say about using it upside down but said it's probably wise to use as intended as it may not work as it should.

You will need a new (or different) head shell then?

Yes, I have a Jelco headshell but it's not the ideal weight for the cart I use. The Houdini will add a couple of grams but I will need a few more. I can of course add some weight in the form of coins but that would be a temporary measure. I guess I need a headshell with slotted holes that weighs about 15g -16g
