I think my Voyd was used in the Hi Fi answers review as it had loads of sticky bits of foil added by the reviewer.
Ellis in reality ruined my voyd bless him, I had to get a replacement from guy adams at the time. The blingy ear g52 and g 88 were in a different class to what ear do today.
The sticky bits were the peter belt creations I remember them well. Hifi was so much more fun back then and more people could aspire to good kit, now one has to be so much more careful with lots of very expensive items that do not quite cut the mustard.
I liked the finestra I had one for a while until it went wrong and ended up using a counterpoint sa11 and sa9 phono they were lovely. Nice to see you are using a conti Basis I had quite a few of those over the years starting with a early lead plattered debut gold which sounded much nicer than the later brass version.
