Dom's gonna do an expert job of it for me at the weekend (with a temporary armboard Speedy Steve's made from birch ply, and also modifying the existing armboard to allow for greater VTA flexibility, until my proper ebony one is ready), so I'm being patient until then

I've been listening to the elliptical-tipped SPU for the last hour or so, which of course is still running in from new, but what I'm hearing at the moment is simply stunning (big and bold, with tuneful and extended bass, and bristling with sparkly detail and clarity, and oh so addictively musical, in the traditional SPU way), and MUCH better than my old spherical-tipped one was, and that was none too shabby...

I can only imagine what this thing will do on the end of the RS-212D!!

Happy days! A big thanks again to Simon, Adam and Lawrence at Hi-Fi Sound and Henley, respectively

Marco.
