Belated thanks to Dominic for repairing my Linn Troika, giving it a new boron cantilever and micro ridge tip.
Turnaround time was excellent, sent on Tuesday 8th of Nov and delivered back on 18th Nov.
Great service, cheers Dom.

Big respect goes out to Paul, aka Addict - a thoroughly excellent chap who I can most highly recommend.
Not only did he sell me a brand new Hanss Acoustics RCM at a great price, but he drove up from Hastings to London and delivered it in person chez moi!![]()

Many thanks to Marco for the SPU he sold me. My emissary/courier delivered it to me half an hour ago!
The cartridge is in excellent condition and I shall be auditioning it soon.

Before you criticise a man, walk a mile in his shoes. Then, when you do - you'll be a mile away. And have his shoes.
Wavy grooves go thru a RigB 540ML on an SL1500C. Digits stream from a cheapie CDP and a Sonos, into a Yamaha 803D driving Kralk Audio little 'uns. I used to have a Linn but I'm better now.
