I have taken the Durand Talea II off my list of equipment, as I have run into some problems with the install.
 NOT my turntable, but if the problems are solved, MY ARM! image-1609649701.jpg

John.......That looks like quite a sophisticated tonearm. I wonder what the resonant frequency measures of the wooden arm. What is the price for this tonearm?

John, can you elaborate the problem? I use Talea II too. My dealer did not do a good job installing it. I ended up redo the installation myself

I will never let a dealer install anything... I need to learn the foibles and idiosyncrasies of a piece of equipment, so I can tune it to its ultimate level, hopefully! Also, I can fix it, probably, if it goes wrong. My problem is that I have the version without the captive cable, but with a plastic junction box, so that a mini DIN female to 2 x RCA or XLR can be used. To be perfectly honest, I see the way this has been implemented as an afterthought and a 'botch' in slang parlance. The Avid Acutus SP does not have anything on it that is not needed, therefore space to attach a junction box is limited. The box is held, if all goes well, by 1 hex bolt.  Unlike this installation on a (sorry I haven't looked up what it is)  The other problem is that I have a right angled mini DIN female plug and it would make the cable perform at least one twist which it probably would not like... I am thinking that the only real, final solution is to swop the arm wand for the one with the captive cable. And sell the very expensive, I sold body parts to pay for it, my child now has no inheritance, phono cable I was expecting to use. image-3282813611.jpg . . . . .image-1550212904.jpg

Latest news... Armwand will be swopped for one with captive cable. More soon, I hope.

I am having trouble finding suitable packaging to protect Durand Talea II armwand when sending it to US. Any suggestions for someone in the UK?
