Talking about spending
I think my Krystal is ok, gave it a good clean and the sparkle is back.
Phew feel like I dodged a bullet.
That's a result you were lucky.
Now it's time to clear out the man cave that would drive me nuts all that stuff to play with.
I'm sure I spotted an LK box and maybe an Axis in the collection.
Correct on the Axis
Not on the LK’s. They are out of picture
Can’t clear it out Jim that’s my cottage industry, sometimes give away whole systems to young uni folks who haven’t a proverbial pot.

Correct Dan
Systemdek 11 or biscuit tin as the coyote rightly pointed out.
When set up well can produce some nice sounds but never put a decent cartridge on so don’t know how far it would go.
Funny thing is it’s the one all the students go to when they come round to find out about this vinyl thingy....!

Yeah I know, quaint innit
Thing is most of the students all know and work in digital so most of them love the sound of analogue then go back to university and try to recreate the sound.

It makes mine go weird also, it’s actually Ash so has a lovely grain pattern, I just play with different things to see what they bring to the party as I can.

Not sure I should say but I have an lp12 for every naim pre/power combo so if you’ve been eagle eyed you can work it out.
But my main one only gets touched by the magic man in Leicester and I honestly have never touched it.

Just had the Peter Swain treatment at Cymbiosis for the first time.
Ekos SE/1, Kandid and Karousel fitted, full strip down and rebuild.
The knowledge, skills, attention to detail and extremely high standards are truly outstanding!

Hi Andy
The service from Peter can be told but must be experienced to fully appreciate.
Your deck looks super and no doubt sounds even better.
Now you've got a Kandid you'll start to misplace your socks.
I'm on the travelator waiting list for my Karousel so any write ups would be appreciated.
Now go and enjoy your new album collection.
Really well done.

Many thanks for your kind comments guys. I always try to do my very best and it's certainly interesting ATM trying to look after so many LP12 users who have gone for the fantastic and unprecedented Linn Karousel offer! It's certainly keeping me busy in these difficult times, so thank you all
Lovely looking deck really tidy and fresh uncluttered appearance.
Love the S tonearm not seen one used in anger for many years.
Wish I could do justice to a photo of my deck for posting.
Nice one.
