Got these little beauties today in the mail.

I can't tell you how they sound as I'm waiting for my TT technician to come and fit my new cartridge to use it - hopefully Friday. Cant wait. New cartridge - New Phono what could be better!!

Nice. Which cart are you planning to use with them, and this will go into your absolare?

i also run the DS Audio Master 1 on my other arm.

Ok, you will have to confirm obviously that all the electronics match or change accordingly

Congratulation! It looks amazing and I'm sure it sounds in the same league as it looks! Enjoy it

BTW - I would love to have the same size of mailbox as you have - seems like a good sized one:D

Congrats @pweg on your new Thomas Mayer phono stage! It is beautifully designed and built & looks the business. It is also a simple circuit and is basically plug and play...very much the antithesis of the EMT JPA-66 MKII! Enjoy it in good health my friend ;).
