    Yup, right up my alleyway (as I love high quality, hand-built bespoke equipment), and it's a superb match for low-compliance MCs, specially SPUs!

    The combo of the Schick arm on that drop-dead gorgeous Sony, made it a no-brainer winner, IMO. For me, both Sacha's and your T/T are equally lovely, in different ways, but I prefer his arm.

    Not a big fan of modern SMEs, sorry. I prefer their older stuff, such as the 3012 or the modern equivalent M2-12R (or their 9-inch counterparts), which I think has sadly now been discontinued:

    I've also always preferred the look of classic 'J-shaped' Jap detachable headshell arms, in preference to the 'straight' design/look. Just a personal thing... *BUT* - aesthetically the SME suits the lines on your T/T perfectly, and so taken as a whole it looks superb!

    You should give a Schick a go sometime, as I suspect you'd LOVE how it sounds, which is quite different from the SME.

    I couldn't agree more. The TTS3000 and Schick are a gorgeous combination. Very elegant and understated.

    Thanks for the kind comments Marco. Much appreciated. I get where you're coming from with regard to the later SMEs. I've got an open mind on the subject but I must tell you the TTS-8000 and V-12 are a superb combination sonically and deliver the sound I'm after. That said, I've also got a phonomac fettled SP10 cut for a 12" SME, so the 3012 and M2-12R are on my watchlist. Unfortunately, until I find a job, I doubt I'll be making any significant purchases.

    I think the Schick has just made it to the top of the list in preference to the 3012 or M2-12R. Thanks for that.

    No worries, mate. The Schick would work a treat on the SP10. Then fit one of these to it: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HIGHPHONI...4f4a%7Ciid%3A1

    *Trust me*, it'll sound stunning!!

    I don't doubt it but I've got a Kiseki Purpleheart sitting idle so I'll probably use that initially.

    Glad I didn't have to judge. (...whew...) ...so much eye candy. Congrats to the winners!
    Lyrics are the ramblings of man, sometimes inspired by The Creator, most often, not.
    But music (melodies, harmonies, rhythms), that's God stuff.
    Always was. Always will be.


    One of the biggest lies ever told was that only certain kinds of people should listen to certain kinds of music.
