Calling all SL-1200/1210 owners!

Been on the verge of loosing my rag with analogue a few times of late, but we know it's worth it dont we, for when you finally nail it, it's spellbinding.

Took delivery of this yesterday...



...'kin hell, what a little box of tricks it is too. Not only has it somehow stopped the dirty great mains spikes and resultant pops from the fridge putting me on edge, it's given my 103 a shot of adrenalin straight into the heart. The Auditorium23 step up transformer is a dedicated denon 103 device, Marco very kindly loaned me his a while back, but I was in the middle of a hum problem and cable mess at the time and got nowhere with it really. Anyway at £375 it's seems pricey, but taken in context with the low price of the 103/variants and it's permanence, it's a killer product. I wont go into detail about the performance as it's been done far more eloquently elsewhere, but it has been the final piece of my analogue rig puzzle, and I dont think I can take it much further, so live, liquid and organic is it's contribution.

Nice phono stage scoobs, thankfully i have no need of such outboard devices as my pre-amp has one of the best sounding MC inputs stages i have listened to built in.

As for the C/W, fair do`s it was marco`s idea for the original 1 piece type and a collective discussion with scoobs, marco and a couple of others that led to the 3 piece suite.

How could i patent 3 lumps of circular brass with screws in anyhow, its all been done before i seem to remember tho not in brass or if so plated.

I feel for Peter in France having to see the others posted on the same day already fitted and having to wait a week longer for his to land.

I have found that after making myself a new underslunky C/W for my RB250 and selling on the technoweight, brass equals more and tighter bass.

Was about to post a pic of it but not got the resizing issue sorted for this board as yet.
