Mike New platter, Oyaide MJ-12 mat & STB-MS stabiliser arrive at Marco Towers...

[Spectral Morn]

Neil,
The pic Marco lets me use of his Techie is crap compared to yours.lol....

Did you get yours from Whittlebury show as I was there and Oyaide first showed them and sold them all I was told!

The only other Oyaide source in the UK is also a Dave!

If I told you where I would have to exterminate you

I missed the Oyaide items at the show and only learn't about them after the event.

Yep well done Marco- now you can go and listen to more music and that blue Techie looks uber cool- any second opinion on the Oyaide mat Dalek? Good job to all, this is getting exicting

No not yet but my review project is much wider in scope than Marco's.

Hi Colin



Ah.... Unfortunately, I've returned the mat and stabiliser now to David. However, I'm sure Neil will weigh it for you

Marco.

No scales I am afraid.... sorry.

Is it fair to say that an SL1200/1210 with an SME/Jelco arm and good cartridge, Oyaide mat and stabilizer will get you 9/10 of the way to audio nirvana? To get all the way needs Mike New involved!

[Marco]

Beautiful isn't it ?

Yes, the blue suits the silver finish of the Oyaide rather well - more so than with the silver or black finish of an SL-1200 or 1210.

Just thought it would be nice to give a wee hint as to what I have been up to recently as we started our evaluation process around about the same time. I haven't reached any firm conclusions yet though my project is a bit more wide ranging than yours has been as it will include arm options and PSU options as well.

I look forward with great interest to reading your findings. They will I'm sure add to the pool of useful information quickly accumulating on these excellent products from Oyaide.

However, if you REALLY want to get serious with your Techie, you'll need to buy one of Mike's platters!!

Marco.

P.S David, if Neil will allow you, feel free to use his picture of the Oyaide mat on your website instead. You have my blessing

I will weigh the weight so everyone can go away and get their own equivalent made for 1/2 the cost no problem...

An earlier post made a reference to costs which I discussed with Marco earlier this week, not everyone can afford a MN platter, power supply and bearing having maybe spent £200-£300 on the Technics, IMHO a good arm and cartridge and moving the internal power supply (Marcos tip thx for that boss) would give anyone into vinyl a decent spinner until funds allow further up-grades, anyone agree? Oh and get rid of that awful rubber mat!

And here was me hoping you might consider my Quad FM2 if you didn't already have one All this money spent on the techie will give you nothing left

Yes, that's it in a nutshell. However, securing the remaining 1/10th is most fundamentally desirable!

Yup, and also the stock feet.

I am sorry but these images + others will form part of a series of reviews on AIHFA and it is my policy regarding AIHFA that I don't allow AIHFA copyright images to be used for commercial purposes. I don't use them for commercial reasons myself either.

The manufacturers and distributors of products I review on AIHFA can link to the reviews or quote small parts but using images etc would make imho AIHFA too commercial.

Once again sorry....I walk a very thin tight rope in these matters.
