I was hoping to get much closer to 100%. Must try harder!

Just bought a 1981 (I think) copy of Doremi Fasol Latido. Side two has the right label, right pressing. Side one is bloody Whitesnake! I'm not quite sure what to do with it. Destroy it, for the greater good of humanity?

Does anyone else use Kallax-size units for their hifi? My lounge is pretty small so I have to make the most of the space. This is an Articulum unit with vent holes bored in the back: they're made to order in Yorkshire (https://articulum.co.uk/product-category/shelving-storage/). Nothing gets very warm.

The Leak CD transport is new to me, and it's a bit of a revelation. The Lyngdorf amp is end-to-end digital, so no need for a DAC.

Someone recently showed how they used lasers to check arm alignment. Whoever it was, thank you! I bought a cheap laser level on Amazon (£30) and it is SO much easier to see what's going on.

Also great for checking azimuth. Plus, lasers are cool.

I ordered this on Tuesday, arrived from France today from Homeciné Solutions in Paris. It was £1905 including all import costs.

I really wanted a turntable that was fully automatic, but this is a good compromise. The build quality is excellent: for dropped washer reasons I had to take the plinth off and the interior is a work of art.

I don't have anything to compare it with, other than a 1978 Technics SL-1301. This sounds better. It's hopefully the last table I buy!

I made this for about £40. The wood was cut to order and supplied with the veneer edging. The legs are for kitchen units, and they're adjustable. That makes it easy to get your turntable level (unlike my photograph).
