    I think he means with respect to the fact that I'm now using a Timestep and Jelco

    Dave (DSJR),

    There will probably be a few nice SP10s and Garrards at the forthcoming Owston fest, so I should have ample opportunity to do some further comparions there, and then update the thread with something meaningful

    Marco.

    I'll be taking mine Marco so you can have a listen...although I'm still struggling with it...I'm not happy with the presentation and feel I may need to look at alternative arms/carts...

    Hi Neal,

    That'll be great. I look forward to comparing notes and perhaps seeing if we can get to the bottom of why your SP10 isn't 'hitting the spot'

    Will you be staying the whole day this time? In my experience, the most interesting stuff happens later on in the evening once everyone has demonstrated their systems and the one-to-one comparisons then take place amongst the diehards!

    Marco.

    That's what I wanted to know.

    Dave C, I know marco cannot resurrect old threads, but THIS one could be to your advantage you know
    I can't go on and I can't go back, I don't feel so matter of fact,
    I tried and tried to make good sense, What's the good to try it all again?
