    Yeah, I would say it does, it's not 'in yer face' like the Lyra. And is it musical?I think so; but I think it's the whole sum of my system which makes it so. The trouble with us audiothingies is we are never quite satisfied with what we have, are we! So we keep looking for something that we think is there but we don't know where it is; if you get my drift. If you like the sound of your system then you are doing well.

    Yes not bad thanks Marco, l like what it does, bit more control, refinement- and it looks cool, a worthwhile tweak in my mind, l brought a Bren 1 record weight earlier in the month and l like what that does as well

    Better photo from the back unfortunately..



    And finally from the front:



    P.S. Does it count if you no longer own the turntables? I never take good photos till it's time to move on..
    Looks lovely - but is the belt meant to have a twist in it?
