evil c Posted June 3, 2020 Posted June 3, 2020 (edited) Never started up a thread on my system, so might as well start now! New delivery has arrived at evil Springs from NZ ! Any ideas on what it could be? @betty boop @Tubularbells @Peter-C @Anatoly Beaver-Hausen @joz Edited June 3, 2020 by evil c 3 1

crtexcnndrm99 Posted June 3, 2020 Posted June 3, 2020 Was surprised when I first saw pics of this model... the overhang of the platter is 'modern' I suppose I'm sure it will sound mighty fine though. Which size arm?
Peter-C Posted June 3, 2020 Posted June 3, 2020 Yup, Wand 14-4 tt. Are you going to use your 9” arm evil?

Which size arm? There are many designs I've seen with bare bones assemblies, with only 3 wings underneath so doesn't faze me looks wise. The quality of the Wand 14- 4 looks up there with the Wand tonearm- which is very high. 14 minutes ago, Peter-C said: Yup, Wand 14-4 tt. Are you going to use your 9” arm evil? It's 10.5 actually Pete.

Yes I'm excited myself, as a long term fan of the Wand tonearm- a deck designed specifically to augment it's design has a lot going for it! I will have to assemble a listening panel, my ears have just graduated from cloth level! 1 1
