Nice! There is an early bird catches the worm joke in that somewhere given the time of delivery, but good taste suggests I leave it alone…
It’s an old deck. When we set up a new cart this week the solder was brittle and the tags fell off.
The resulting solder effort wasn’t ideal.
New wires with fitted tags are on the way. No point trying to sort what’s on there.
Thanks.
Carts and arms seem to have two sizes of pin, so if the leads are too small use a small screwdriver to ease them apart a little, if they are too big, then a very small pair of pliers with very light touch.
Been replacing a dead tweeter in the HB2 speakers and cutting some foams. Looking and sounding better now.
Did you get a new Audax tweeter from Falcon?
Putting the old Oracle with Audiomods IV? back in the system. Running a Hana SL with copper shim. Shim is almost essential as the cart is so light. Shim makes massive improvement in the sound from the cart as otherwise a bit meh. Now sounds way better than it ought to given its price.

Found a used pair of the right tweeter on evilbay for £50. So I have a spare, Changed one over today and working fine.
Unlikley. It was in the box with the arm. Would a gold one made from an ingot sound betterer? Please feel free to send me an ingot about 3mm deep and I will try it for you and report back. 
Off out now for Homemade pizza in the outdoor pizza oven and copious amounts of vino.

If all it’s there for is the additional weight then indeedy-doody. But what you really need is depleted uranium.

I personally would go for Mpingo wood or a shakti stone shim (try saying that after a couple of shandies) would be even more betterer. Tuff Bob is the expert on all things foo, and also he is local to you. (Feel free to use as a jingle)
If the cables have no oxygen, how does the music breeeaathe…
Through the quantums of course 
Nice new (old) headshell for the Sony 6750.
So I can fit a decent cart and have a second option when the loan is returned.

Non-working dusty thing with not my fav valves in.
To go with this.
Nice, looks like I’ll need to head back with the Hana

I do like the Nag carts. I started off with the MP-200 which is currently sitting in the draw with a brand new stylus after I got a bargain price MP-500 
They have got a lot more spendy these days though.
Ive had the mp500 in the past never got on with it tbh. This however is a happy medium not too spendy and a notable improvement on the mp10 i have. I like the bass and the top end is refined enough not to annoy.
Yes for the price of an 500 these days id buy an MC.
