A public service announcement

I find alcohol to be the greatest tweak. Directly affects the cerebellum where spatial cues are integrated.  Less awareness of two speakers creating soundstage that actually continuous.  Downside was falling asleep with vinyl and the needle bent from continuously last groove.  Alcohol only with digital

@tennisdoc56 That’s why I have two tables.  The QL-Y77F is for when there’s alcohol in the bloodstream.  And honestly, it may be my best sounding TT anyway.

@jdougs That Paua has also been on my radar for several months so i'll hide my computer when the whisky flows.  What is it replacing?  Do you own any other SS carts presently?  Interested in your opinion of the Paua compared to the Hana.

Ah… so this is why my dealer has those rich wine parties attended by manufactures to show new gear.  Got to check and see if I ordered new Wilson’s again.

@wyoboy It's actually replacing a Zephyr MIMC Star ES that I bought used a few weeks ago.  Prior to that, that TT was running a Dynavector 10X5.  I was so impressed I ordered the Paua as well as a Zephyr MIMC Star ES MONO.  The Zephyr MIMC Star ES stereo will serve as a backup when the Paua has to go in for retipping.  Since the Paua and Zephyr MONO both weigh the same, my hope is to be able to switch them around without needing to make adjustments.  We'll see how that works out.
