Hi Simon, don’t get me wrong, with a good quality pressing, I love the overall sound of my set up, it’s just that when I go to my mates he has an incredibly detailed and natural soundstage where you can ‘see’ where the musicians sit /float across the room - I just don’t have anything like that...
A bit late to this thread, but only just came across it.
I’ve got the Acutus SP Reference - took it to Conrad for a full service and also had a listen at the difference between my SP Ref PSU and the Mono PSU. Like you I simply can’t get my head around how/why the PSU could make a £10k...
Hi Vienna, I noticed you had your Tidal speakers on a platform - wondered what they were and what difference they made? I had wondered about the benefits of speaker isolation - whether or not to replace the tidal feet with Stillpoints or Gaia or use the Townshend platforms. Interested in your...
Things of beauty... I’ll run them in for you ;-)

Thanks Nemal1 for your response. Tracking weight is as per EMT's spec (2.4gm) I have gone a bit higher to 2.65 to see if that helped but didn't). On the same the process is to set the bias to the same as the tracking weight - I've done that and also experimented with going higher/lower :-(
2019 was a bit of an unplanned hifi upgrade journey - Overall I am very happy with where I've got to with the exception of vinyl playback... The Acutus and SME have gone back to their respective manufacturers for full services and the EMT Cartridge is brand new.
Some records play great and...
