Are you still looking for people to listen to this? Once I've got the cables in my system I would be keen to hear this if possible - I have a Garrard 401 with a Graham 2.2 tonearm with several arm wands and various cartridges. Presumably it is currently set up for moving coil cartridges? At the moment I'm using moving magnet cartridges (a Nagaoka and a Cartridge Man Music Maker III) with a Graham Slee phono stage but I also have several moving coils (Koetsu Rosewood, Fidelity Research, Benz Micro) and at least one suitable phono stage somewhere.

Yes but it has to be collected and then commented on and delivered back. MC Only in the prototype. One production one sold already to Zebbo. Not built yet.

That is the bugger. I refuse to even try to lift it. It is still in the boot of my car after the trip to Uddersfield.

Its a Jeep Comanche, I am not sure anything could stop it. I just leave it in two wheel drive, but it has two levers by the auto gear stick that allow to do anything and go anywhere. They scare me at the moment I don't touch them.

Having moved it around I would say it probably runs to about 35 - 40kg which is bloody heavy but still a one-man lift.

25kg is the maximum lift weight for a male and 16 kg for a female according to the HSE.
