it has arrived! Having watched Ortofon’s video on setting up the tonearm correctly I bought the alignment thingy - they supply a stylus pressure gauge and micro-bristle brush… and I spent my time getting everything spot on.
I started with an album with high production values I know well and on a heavyweight pressing, AT damp clean and a brush with my new P******t premium brush (got to protect the stylus). Very quickly realised you were all correct, as always, that there’s stuff you definitely don’t hear on the lesser styli, particularly at lower volume, I was quite surprised to hear nuance and depth that I clearly didn’t hear previously - the Accession obviously made a massive improvement, but (less than one album in) this is another leap. What a thing!

you are not wrong, part of me is glad I didn’t find this out when I was younger because I’d have spent an absolute fortune by now.
Trust me, the Accession attached to the Enigma, receiving from the 2M black is an absolute revelation, I haven’t stopped playing records all day. Just poured a g+t to start the evening session…

Carp of the religious variety! I have been missing sooooooo much. JC’s Accession (Enigma powered) and this Ortofon black have distorted my world in a new and magical way - All along the Watchtower is akin to being at Woodstock…
Please All, talk to me about record cleaners and amplifiers, I have gone from Woolworths tower cabinets to live concerts in the last 24h, and I don’t know where I’m going to stop!

Yes it is ear opening. Enjoy the different musicians and the sound of the space they were in. Please pace yourself or you'll have a floor full of LP's!
