Sound is clear and fast imo, used a meter to adjust azimuth, fine tuned the alignment by ear but seems to line up at the offset angle. " Power Amp, Imo, Headphone, Alignment, Speakers, Quad

Dave lives in the US and is an audio adventurer, not only has he fitted The Wand 10.3in tonearm to his Technics SL1210 M5G but he has had great fun trying all sorts of cartridges, commenting; So far I've had a Shure SC35C, Zu Denon 103R, Shure M55E and a Stanton Fluxvalve 380 installed and they have all performed great. Way better than these budget carts should and better than any of them have performed for me in the past. --Dave Zu Denon 103 shown here. Stanton, Adventurer, Carts

-Kenwood KD600; Many years ago, as student interested in audio, one of the turntables my friends lusted after was a Kenwood L07D. The KD600 lacks some of the tech drama of the L07D but has enough of the basic design details like the artificial granite plinth to be a good turntable in anyone’s book. Here with an Ortofon 2M Blue mounted on The Wand Tonearm®. Granite, Design Details, Turning

-Technics SL1200 Mk2; It’s nice when customers become friends and Andy has been great at helping develop the Instructions for fitting The Wand Tonearm® onto Technics turntables. Andy has used cartridges as diverse as Audio Technica AT09 (Shown here), Ortofon 2M Black and Denon 103. Andy commented “To cut a long story short, I have really been enjoying the extra detail and just sheer get up and go that it provides.” Technics Turntables, Detail
