  The Cart. is slowly breaking in. So far about 15 hours. Out of the box wonderfull. Now it's in the changing mode. Needs 50 hours minimum.  :(   For kicks pulled the stock PC stock powercord from the TT.  Both the TWL and Mapleshade had excellent results but different. Initial impressions are; Triode Wire Labs is richer and in the deeper bass. Mapleshade has more air and sparkle on the top.
   However to early to really tell, just playing around for now. Just too many toys on my hands :duh.

Very cool, Charles!!

Toob told me about this thread and I know you're going to love that deck.  My Stogi S is really excellent and I can't believe it has no stateside following.

I'm very interested in reading your findings with the power supply.  I don't spin 45s, but am intrigued.

Its also interesting hearing power cords affect the sound.  My buddy told me of a similar finding with the motor for his VPI table, but he was nuts anyway, lol.

  Thanks Gopher,
                         I tell ya more exposure than ya think. Fremer gave it a great review. the word is getting out. The machinging and tolerances of the arm and TT piece are exceptional.
   Since I am unfamiliar with the TT and Cart it is impossible to say what is doing what. However it is as a whole better than my lingo-ed trampoline Linn with Arkiv cart. No rising top end no exaggerated sibilance with more weight and soul to the sound.
