First tt: SP10/Black Widow/Mico Acoustics QDC-1e

Yesterday UPS delivered a package we had thought was lost in the Mojave desert train derailment last week. Inside - and unharmed - a beautiful Technics SP10 with black obsidian plinth, a spotless Infinity Black Widow tonearm with a Mico Acoustics QDC-1e cartridge.

Before deciding on the SP10 I had all the usual (and a few unusual) suspects in consideration - VPI Classic3, ClearAudio, McIntosh MT5, - but I am a sucker for over-built professional studio gear, so I thought I can hardly go wrong with a nice SP10.

This one even has a small part in a audio show write-up here: http://parttimeaudiophile.com/2013/08/27/cas-2013-soundscape-audio-video-presents-martin-logan-parasound/

I only own one LP right now (trying to change this tonight) but I am enjoying the process immensely. 45 minutes after bringing it home last night the "Missa Universalis" by Eela Graig was conjuring up warm and fuzzy memories of my wedding 30 years ago in a galaxy far far away

Thanks for letting me share my joy.
Cheers, Oliver
