Thanks paper clip sounds like a good idea. May just try that.

Thanks I already have a full Aro arm with all the accessories. Just looking at building another one with a spare arm top for my second Lp12

Thanks for all the helpful replies. I should be able to get all the parts except for the bias hanger. I guess someone with the handy skill can sculpt one out of a strip of metal.

Does anyone have spare antiskate bias hanger for the Aro that I can buy off from? I am also interested in any Aro spare parts. Thanks in advance

I find the Devialet is quite sensitive to speaker matching. In past I have heard the Devialet with Canton and Magico. Frankly both did not wow me the way it should. I think being ruthlessly honest it prefer "warm" speakers and would sound "clinical" with high tech "modern" composite...

In an attempt to simplify my system, I recently replaced Vitus SS-010 25WPc 80lb heavy iron, W4S STP-SE preamp and dCS Debussy DAC with the Devialet 170. I estimate the D170 to be less than 1/3 the list price of the above system, and that is not counting 3 power cables, interconnects, footers...

>> Teresa Goodwin (author of the article) is known to spout all sorts of crazy rubbish on the SA-CD.net forum. She even supports the view that 2ch is better than multichannel SACD because we have two ears, therefore two channels is what we need. She really is a lost cause. Agree with that...

Naim Arivas. Awesome bass but awfully edgy headache inducing mid bass boom that proved impossible to tame. Don't understand how some folks over at the other forum luved them so much.

When I was still in the cult, I checked my supposed sacred original Naim cable and it said something like "BaoHing" on the cable, Volex on the IEC connector and a standard UK type MK plug. At work came across power cables for our Desktop PCs and with the same "Baohing" and Volex names on them...

A few months ago I was living off a hotel with no sound system. it was then that I bought the Ultrasone Edition 8 which is "semi-portable", and, surprisingly, the best headphone sound I had ever had experienced, and that was off a Macbook and an iPhone. Fast Forward to now back to my living...
