Ah, it landed then? Good. It's a very good little box that. I used it a few times with my Koetsu and Bent Audio Mu step-up (same transformers as your Music First) and it didn't disgrace itself at all. A bit of a miracle for the price.

When Karl told me he had been to Japan to have a new arm and headshell made to his own specification I ordered one straight away without asking the price as I knew Koetsu made a rosewood and magnesium head shell that costs about £800 or maybe more now who knows! This headshell is seriously good, Doms cart fits perfectly.

Well listened a bit last night, need to put my best speakers back in the system as I took them to Cranage Hall, will do that tonight. Looks good, but I think your anti-skate level is set a little high (if indeed you've been using it, as shown in the pic, set at 3g) Marco.

The pictures were before listening guys, chill out! I had to wait a say for Nat to reply to my e-mail as I forgot the tracking force of doms cart. Its 1.8-2.3g according to Nat. Perhaps one of you wants to call round tomorrow and set the VTA for me? lol
Just setting the system up for real now for a session tomorrow, Nicks latest 2 box MM phono stage, music first SUT and pre-amp, 300b's, and the speakers just came back from hi-fi world so result all round.
A bit of new vinyl also appeared yesterday.
