In 2005 I had to replace the motor in my Manticore Mantra. The one I got from RS Components was a perfect fit. Same type as an old Linn AC motor.

If no one takes it you could always give Audio Gold a ring.

You'll have to tell us how the new Akurate DS sounds compared to the Majik .....

The recent Spotify price rise might be linked to this. Might. So maybe maybe lossless Spotify really will take off this year.....

A shout out to my very local venue the Glad Cafe, Glasgow. Has jazz nights once a month and more frequent electronica and indie acoustic with a dash of electronics gigs.

The Heed Orbit 2 power supply I added to my Manticore Mantra was a noticeable step up. Made it more solid sounding. So worth investigating a used example of the Heed Orbit 2 (plug and play version). But the new price has kept up to £600, putting it close in price to the Valhalla Zuess power...

I was surprised to see this. I checked on his Facebook page to verify. Yes it is the case. The new HQ is a residential address in Ayr. I suspect that's the address of Johnnie's new partner.
