Right! The 1210 has had some more trials and tribulations. I managed to snap a cartridge tag which I also managed to repair, very lucky! The Cadenza Black is back with the Fritz Geiger diamond fitted and it's very good indeed. It's ruthless and has to be extremely well setup. I fell into the trap of having the SME V VTA set a little too high only to be greeted with fantastic imaging and the best ever detail retrieval I've experienced but at a loss of bass attack and impact . The FGS is very sensitive to surface noise so records have to be extremely clean to limit surface noise. I've been experimenting today with VTA and bass attack and impact has returned which was a big relief. So far it's been a no brainer. Speed, attack, soundstage, data retrieval have all moved up a notch. I'd say I'm about 80-90% their with correct setup. Still tweaking with anti-skate and tracking force values. The deck is performing better than it ever has but I think their is more to come. I'm still in the break in period so I'll hopefully see "more" of everything at the 50-100 hour period, so far less than 6 hours on the cartridge!
