That’s very scary as the Rega Aphelion2 cart is what I consider “stupid expensive”. Glad I avoided a potential failure.
It’s not often that I’m away from the TT when spinning vinyl but every so often I’ll hear my wife holler “hey the record is done on that side”.
We all like to believe we are responsible and would never let that happened. However, it only takes one time and it is easy to get distracted. Not to mention as we get older, and I can speak from experience, dozing off becomes pretty easy to do when it is least expected.
I have the Little Fwend (I hate the name) Disco on my Technics SL1210G and it works flawlessly.
I have one of these. A very clever and effective device. A modern version of something similar made a while ago by Audio-Technica (which I also have!).
I’d much rather have the Martin Logan’s behind them! I had a chance to get that ML center channel in the picture (one exactly like it) for $3400 open box with full warranty it retails for $9998. I missed out and dropped the ball on that one!
I like my 15As :), the focals are looking for new homes…and that Illusion is fun (center)…no room on floor so we tossed it up on stand to fire through screen…
That was my other issue also was the large floor sitting size of the illusion.
we tilted it with Iso-pucks 
I particularly like the chair stand for tha Naim
Just got in the EMM Labs DV2i DA/Preamp/Streamer!
Interior shot before swapping in the Synergistic Research Master Fuse + Stealth Cloude Grande Cu power cord…
It’s custom…what can I say lol…needed a quick solution which apparently stuck haha…
Looks super clean and impressive. I used the SR master in my Diablo with unsatisfactory results. The masterpiece M2 was much better in the Diablo 300. My SR guy had said that the master works better with streamers and digital components, so maybe with the integrated streamer it may play well with that unit.
Edit: Also noticed the Rega wool mat appears to have no static cling issues. Very surprising based on previous experience. Maybe they’ve increased the lanolin content!
I never tried the wool platter mat. I think I may have tossed it.
Smart, never used mine, dust magnet IMO. Achromat was plenty fine on a P8.
I’ve had a few Rega TTs in the last 30 years, tried some other mats but have always preferred the Rega mat, better balance overall. I have recently added the Stack Audio Serene Stabiliser which improves the sound on my P10, highly recommended!
I never used mine either. Wait, I don’t even have a turntable, or a wool mat.
Only mono thus far of course, but it’s sounding fairly balanced and a bit warm thus far. Great deep bass with the AP “subs” in place.
The 12mm spruce ply actually sympathetically resonates quite a bit as intended already, but will need some careful thinning from the inside to reach the level of tonality I want.
And can’t wait to hear them in stereo.
Also tried hanging from the roof. Don’t see any downsides.
