Let's See What Makes Your Vinyl Spin!

Once again, it's time to assess the damage, lol (past evolution for reference). Only a DAC and speaker change, not bad all things considered.

Before I realized what was going on I thought these were all active systems you have and was going to stage an intervention

The personal intervention happened when we consolidated down to one system.

That said, I missed the LRS's in my "photo journey", so to give proper props.......

Is that a Sutherland bottom left and does it have a black face plate?

It’s been almost 2 years since I added my last piece! I think a new phono stage is likely my next move. I have some cash but probably need trade in too and kinda not feeling what the dealer had on offer so happy enough to just sit on my system for now, it does sound very good to be fair.

It does, I started a trend, lol

@Joe Mac , just for the sake of argument I checked to see what the trade in value was for my 1210G, in case, when and if, the MasterDeck showed up and, IF, I liked it enough to keep it, I'd know where I stood.

I hope your sitting down, I was offered $1300...........I think my decision has been made whether the MD shows up or not, lol

You're going to trade in a 1200G for $1300? I'll pay you $1301 for it.

Yep that’s crazy even before all the glitches mofi seem to be having in their tables of late.

Don't believe that's what I said, lol

Honestly it's a shame, but it's enough to sour the biggest fans. I know a few people who have the MD and have had 0 issues with them, which makes me wonder if its a QC thing, or just luck of the draw. Either way, no bueno.

My cat has me sleep deprived, eye kant reed gud

Yeah, I went down the black faceplate rabbit hole, too.

All kidding aside, these are the things that put the !!!!! on being done with gear. Once this is fixed, I'm so content with being literally done, I have one more cart I'd like to add to the stable, but outside of that done, no "famous last words", DONE!

Project tonearm wires….

Been there! It’s easily fixed by a tech but it was around €100 for me.

Ya, I've read that, I mean could they be any thinner? That said, the carts not getting swapped on this deck ever so I'm ok with that, also contacted a tech, he quoted me $25?! We'll see if that changes once he has it in hand.
