Denon 103 Pro and his step up

[Marco]

Mikey,

Nah, of course I won't mind waiting for that. But the difference is Darren's upfront about the timescale required to do the job. He hasn't quoted me 2 weeks to do the job (or whatever) and then actually taken two months to finish it, which appears to be along the lines of what ESco have done with Scoobs.

I don't mind waiting 2 months to get a job done to my satisfaction, providing I've been told in the first place that's how long it will take. What I will *NOT* tolerate is being told one thing and it ending up being something very different. Furniture and carpet stores, for example, do this regularly when you order goods, and many other places too, and it's totally inexcusable. In business you deliver what you promise - end of. It's how I've always run my business and why through sheer bloody hard work and a dedication to perfection I now don't have a mortgage to pay...

LOL!


Bugger off!.. Scoobs is having a custom made Sapphire cantilevered cartridge, not a sodding sofa!


Or a custom made picture of Elvis!



HeHe... Time to 'leave it' I think!

[Marco]

Yes, that's why I said "for example", ya dafty!

How long is this silly and pointless argument going to last? We obviously have a very different mindset on this. I'm off tomorrow so can stay up and type bollocks all night if necessary

Ya missed this bit ya knob!

[Marco]

Nope, ya wee jobby, I didn't!

But why should you get the last word?



Marco.

[Mike]

Coz I'm 'harder' than you!

[Marco]

Thats the one Marco, the very same

The headshell has a coin blu-tacked on.. working a treat.. if i keep the cartrige on full time i may invest in one of those 15gram headshells..

You should, Steve. I use one with my DL-103R and Pro and it sounds fantastic. It's undoubtedly the best detachable headshell I've ever used, and over the years I've had a few!

its funny, i quite liked the lyra but i supose i've also changed my veiw of what I like since then.. I will go back to the keski in a week or so.. and see how it sounds.. it does detail in spades.. but i am now playing records.. something I'd stopped doing.. and really enjoying the music.

It is funny because a Lyra and an M3D are about as far apart sonically as you can get with cartridges, but the fact that you're just playing records now and enjoying music says it all...

I may bring it to owston ..

Please do. If it's on a detachable headshell I can listen to it on my 1210

I'll also have the LH-18 with me so we can try your M3D on that if we get time.

Marco.

[scoobs]

Oh gawd blimey!...what have I started. Can we leave this now please.
Isn't the azimuth slightly out on this?

[Marco]

Seems fine, but I'll just have to 'tweak' it to find out...

Where on earth did you find that image - Googling for tits or 1210s?

Marco.

[scoobs]

Lol. I found it whilst browsing off the 103 mod page earlier.
