gat474 Posted July 17, 2022 Posted July 17, 2022 Further information: I bought this new from Wyndham Audio about two years ago. I’ve had two of these now, the first came to grief when I was changing it to a new TT and it got caught on my jacket. This one for sale is the new replacement and HAS NOT BEEN DAMAGED! - Just needed to confirm that. Over the two Fideles I’ve owned I’ve had them mounted on both a souped up Rega P25 and then a Soulines Kubrick on a Jelco 950S arm. Initially I replaced an Ortofon 2M black on the Rega. The Fideles did everything the 2M did, just did it better. A little more detail yet it didn’t have that forward nature of the 2M. When I changed to the Soulines TT (and had to buy the current Fideles which is offered for sale) the sound scaled up with the big step up in turntable and arm. I was always going to go moving coil and couldn’t resist when a great deal on an MC cart came up a couple of months after I mounted up the Fideles. Ultimately this Fideles hasn’t seen many hours, probably 30 or so. I was going to keep it but I’m just not going to mount it up - I’m a bit wary of my lack of cart mounting skills, even taking the pics had me sweating. They were $1900 when I bought this, I did get a small discount as it was an emergency replacement. They are around $1600 now. I can post or do pick up. I can’t demo it as it won’t be mounted. Pick up in Moonee Ponds. 1
