The wait is certainly worthwhile. I think the simplicity of the design in great - everything you need is there, but the implimentation is form following function. What is the rest of your system?
I'd suggest you experiment with the gap between the magnets. I thought the 2 card guide a bit too little and ended up slightly higher but sounding more "relaxed".
Thom's site has a link to the "suggested" cart matches which Frank posted some time ago on VA. I personally think it will match with virtually any cart so long as its within the 8-12hz arm/cart resonance range. But if you really must have a "best" match, then I'd say try an Allaerts.
Did Thom suggest using any dampening oil for the wire?
