some updates:
1. the
ZYX is breaking-in nicely on my Michel table and replaced the 103R i broke over the holidays. a definite upgrade in dynamics, realism and speed. i love this cart.
2. the
TD124 is with the vintage TT master - joel; the armboard will be kamagong (c/o joey and rex); the plinth may be changed too if the master builder will have time - a shindo-inspired narra pinoy version!!! abangan!
3. the
Morch arm is now temporarily installed. it's missing an extra weight but is being ordered by hansen. looking into an extra 12" arm wand for the Morch...but not decided yet
4. the
Marantz 8 just arrived last night (yipee). all tubes checked-out almost new and matched. circuit/parts all seem stock but will look closely this weekend. fired-up late last night with the
Tono fono and piano driving the minima amator and whoa
i love this 50-year old amp...eats my modern ..... will try with the
LS3/5A-AB1 soon...
thanks for snooping!
