Aye well, been some crappy times recently, so thought I'd redress the balance..
Very impressed with this so far, has all the good traits of the DL S1 ( and then some!) with more bass and a kind of solidity that makes the Denon sound a bit airy fairy by comparison. Sure there's a lot more to come once it runs in though.

That's quite some cartridge. I hope it brings you much pleasure.
At the moment, I can only dream of something like that.

Yeah, you don't even get a cover. Will have to make something.

Constructing something to cover the cartridge would be a very difficult route. Somewhere on the WD or AT forums are details of makers of bespoke acrylic TT covers who have changed name (previously red something) but still offer their excellent service many of us benefited from several years ago. That's where I would start. |

Here you go. Going back to 2006, supplier was Red Display, proprietor Andy Coley. Company has evolved into 'Plastic on Line' but still offer the same service. It was excellent ten years ago and my 401 cover from them remains very good. Nick even had them engrave the Garrard emblem into the top of his cover! plasticonline.co.uk/display-cases-covers.html |
