I'm still waiting for the additional weight for the tonearm to fit the Nagaoka cartridge but I currently have the Goldring fitted. I was listening to it the night before last and was surprised with how the Techie sounds.

The soundstage is bigger than my Rega. The music really filled the room and the speakers really did disappear! The Rega produces a bit more bass I thought. Overall, the Rega sounds better to me still. I find it hard to describe exactly why. It just sounds more right at the moment. Considering the Rega has been modified quite a bit I would probably expect it to be better.

The Techie is still standard so there's plenty of room for improvement.

An Achromat 1200, Isanoe feet and the Nagaoka cartridge will hopefully make a big difference once I'm able to fit them all.

Future mods will include a tonearm rewire and a separate PSU. Haven't decided which one yet.
