sorry to ear that, but unfortunetly there are lots like those sellers... actually representatives who dont have the will to make it work for us and by it to shine the brand they represent... because they dont gain nothing with it - they want money gain not moral ethic *sighs* Rolling Eyes

PS: im taking down my tabriz sale since i got a new lift pump

I am fine about it now but at the time,i wasn't one bit pleased with the response,but hey life goes on. Crying or Very sad

Don't know why i didn't go for a Artaxerxes to be honest with you,always had a image that it only works with the Artemiz and a Shiraz at the end of it,therefore full Roksan and i didn't want to go that route as i have a Moerch DP6 and a Alphason HR100s to choose from,good luck with the new set up Soundzen.

well its hopeless... sorry to dissapoint those hard-core fans even if i have the K2 cd, amp and speakers, but it looks somehow incomplete hifi *sighs*

the overheating from the radius comes by flaw on this 1995 model, i was told and its indeed my case - after half an hour of spinning vinyl... it burns up (my poor fingers when i touch and i could fry an egg) - it heats the room temperture which is good in winter but this summer with no ventilation and a dry 32ºC, its unbearable as well as a little hizzz noise i picked up from the rotor!

so i did an upgrade to the TT:

i bought the white gloss rega P3/24 with tt-psu but without 301 arm or the elys needle - since i have my goldring 1006 MM cartridge and my solid roksan tabriz which touraj sent a substitute elevation kit, since mine was weak and didnt have oil!

A BEAUTY OF SOUND! Cool

What once seemed such a bargain is now more expensive.....incidentaly, just back from Tavira in the South where a copy of What Hifi sells for Euros 8.80......fortunately I did not need anything to read.

indeed - it would have been a bargain if it was in conditions of playing in the first place (as i was told by the seller when i paid 450€ for the so-called plug and play radius TT)... it was NOT!!!

as for mags price, its a rip off since we are within europe - everything outside PT is exagerated... lucky you in UK - birthplace of hifi.

i may use the radius wood base as isolation since it as the vibrapods... and yes i need to save money for a decent hi-fi 4 shelves-furniture.
