What's in the box!

On a Rega I’d use (and actually use on my) a 3mm Funk Firm Achromat.
To my ears the differences are really worth the price.

Nice! I really dig the red face plate, and I bet that amp sings with the Morpheus.

That polished red face plate is specifically the reason it took 3 months to get the GS-X Mini from HeadAmp haha.The wonders of supply chain issues! It looks amazing in person though, so worth the wait in the end. I was afraid it would it be too shiny or obnoxious vs. the matte, but pretty pleased by how it looks. As for the pairing, it sounds wonderful so far! I’ll need to spend more time with it and compare it with the Forge to see the differences.

@jthvac gee I wonder who helped get me sorted on that front :grin:

Very nice looking Electra! You’ve been on a roll collecting ec amps like pokemon! Very rare find indeed seldom see these on sale.

Yeah since the release in early 2013, I think there have only been around 3 sales I could find online, maybe more through DMs, but to even find someone with these are hard.

Out of the 10+ people I messaged, 2 replied, and only 1 wanted to sell. And those are all the people I could find that even mentioned they had some in all the forums. They are difficult to stumble across.

This is the item @mfadio is to blame for





Vintage Ariston RD-11s. Needs some TLC, but this is a museum piece.
I’ll be updating the project on the restoration thread

Great turnable. You will love it and restoration will make it your own personal turnable. Good luck.
