I had turned off my system while away for the weekend. I don't normally ever turn it off and this was a reminder why. Eek!

Several hours later...

I've stuck down the Achromat to the platter with double-sided thin tape. Had a good listen and I can't discern any difference from without tape. However, my Achromat is a very tight fit to the MN bearing spindle and I doubt I was getting any slippage before.

Further thoughts on what the Achromat is doing: wonderful accentuation of fine detail, tiny cues, acoustic of the recording venue and general realism. Highly neutral. Tight bass which can sound light but in fact goes deeper. Just 'more there'.

Now for the PH SR5-21 PSU when it arrives.
