Turntable is an Origin Live Resolution mk1 with an OL live silver Mk2 arm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALF- Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 An update pikkie of my system ... I have moved and elevated (courtesy of Ikea) my Altecs, and the result is sonic beautiness! The Audio Nirvana TLs standing inboard and back a bit may be going soon - I should downsize - - my wife will be happy if I do, I can tell these things by the subtle womanly signs. They sound good - well great I guess - but get little use ... someone else might appreciate their single driver, point source niceness - maybe with a sub to help them rock .... but me? _ I'll stick to the Altecs - more my vintage 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

russell66 Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Finally got around to modifying my Stanton I have had sitting about for a while, fitted the Hadcock GH228 tonearm and the SoundSmith Ortofon rebuild. Listening to Robert Cray and then Star Wars. Just need to find a way to add height to the platter now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am Listening to the 180g of the Force Awakens I got it free at the Melbourne Hi Fi show. I had been waiting till I hooked up the MC cart before giving it the first play. I could change the arm board or even drop it below the top, I just thought it would be nice to add something like an Acrylic platter, I just saw project offer a nice one, that may work.
