It yielded a unexpected bonus in addition to the elevation of my system from upper mid-fi to lower hi-end fi and the welcome elimination of a earthing problem.
I finally back in the groove! Just wished to express my delight with the results of the re-wire. I am so pleased - thanks for a first rate Incognito re-wiring and fast turnaround. The whole range of sounds on the record sounded great now - with a soundstage that expanded well past the vertical and horizontal confines of the speakers now. I never had heard it even though I bought it a year+ ago do the disastrous DIY hot-wired job a previous owner did.but, wow, what a tonearm it is! My Ortofon X5-MC, which is pretty weak in bass, sounded nothing like itself anymore. I got the arm back safely and hooked her up to my VPI HW-19. You will receive my highest recommendation should anyone I know needs some tonearm work. The arm sounds great! I appreciate the excellent work you did. Sincerely, Ronald L.įinally found the time to setup the OL Encounter. I am so pleased with this result ! I have ~4000 LPs which will become newly discovered treasure.
Your workmanship is most impressive and the quality of sound with my Ortofon Kontrapunkt A is gorgeous. Thank you for rewiring my Rega RB600 arm. All this is gone replaced by a reality Ive not heard before. The 'stock' wiring always produced a hum and was never truly transparent/detailed.
