    Hi Paul,thanks, it's taken about three weeks to a month to get to this point and I want to savour every moment

    Truth be told mate, the stock arm and cart sounds fantastic at the moment and I'm loving just being able to stick on a record so pulling that set up apart to install the new arm is not something I want to rush into.

    Obviously I have no idea how the new arm sounds but as a peice of engineering it really is beautifully made and is in near mint condition in fact the headshell has never been used and is brand new.

    The armbase is a bit special too BTW

    Tony

    What's the arm and cart?

    Is it a DIY type arm? I've a vague memory of someone posting about something similar.
