Thanks Fergus

Hi Fergus, please post a link to the PSU you used.

One of the interesting things about the SL-10 is that it will run off a 12v DC PSU with a negative centre-pin (this is relatively unusual). I’ve found a suitable one mentioned on a US audio forum (can't remember which one) and it's available in the UK: SoulBay 30W 12v DC PSU with -ve centre-pin...

How lovely. I doubt you’ll regret it ever.

That seller link didn't work for me... is it correct?

I saw Martin at the Rye Arts Festival last year. Fantastic music.

I had a 34 and 405-2 in the early 80's as a student (I say that with astonishment, not as a boast). I still have the 405-2 in NetAudio 3 guise and have sought out a 306, 34 and FM4. It's georgeous kit, aesthetically and musically. As other's have said, it's bulletproof and will give years of...

I have a Avondale-style modified 102/NAPSC for sale along with an Andrew Weekes modified HiCap to power it. It ate my NAC82/SuperCap for breakfast and lasted through a 140/250/ pair of mono-blocked NAP110s and a pair of IcePower AS200 monoblocks. If you're looking for a 102 this is a 102 on...

Sorry to hear about your experience. My experience has been very positive buying from the UK and US outlets. I bought a Norah Jones Christmas album, via the US outlet on eBay, which had notable distortion, I contacted them and received a full refund. Have you contacted customer support? I'm not...

Ooooh, nice! FWIW, there's a very definite SL-10 / Quad vibe going on in this thread... I've jsut fitted an AT LS450/LT body with an AT540ML stylus to my SL-10 and it's sounding wonderful. I was running the Technics EPC 310-MC previously, but am very much enjoying the AT... and I'm only 4...
