I wish the PostOffice would update everyone on what their issues are and maybe give them and expectation on delivery times. I completely get taht things aren’t working normally but a bit of extra info from them would only help.

Postman been, Nothing However got a notification from My Hermes that a parcel is out for delivery. That will be the Arm Edit: Arm arrived in perfect condition, that is a relief. Something wrong with the Michell VTA Adjuster btw, wont screw on, Checked the threads on the arm, they are fine. Looks to be faulty. Cant say i like the things anyway or the idea of having to remove the 'RB-250' arm base sleeve, Might just go with the spacers if required, fuck it. It'll be just the one set up anyway as i have no desire in ever changing the cartridge again hence i already got two spare new Styli for the Goldring.

My headphones came by Hermes too. Never had a chance to try them yet, Been working from home as of a couple of weeks ago so haven’t had a try yet.

Still no reply regarding the HEED PSU. Had no option but to file a dispute for money back..
On that note, im wondering if an HERCULES Power supply maybe a better option.

I've fitted two Hercules supplies to Axis decks where the original motor supply is knackered beyond economic repair (you'd end up replacing most of the board as on an original Roksan supply). It's basically a two speed Valhalla with all the last Linn updates as regards surge protection, peak voltage limiting and so on.
The motor as Hercules driven runs at full voltage, so no suppression of cogging and so on. I never know exactly what voltage the Armageddon supply ran at, but the pulley feels silky if powered and 'braked' by hand I remember.
Don't know if the above helps at all?

Ideally i would prefer the matching 'IIXE' Supply or a 'IIXE-900' would do but these are like hens teeth, certainly far more simple to repair/Rebuild, nice to have a matching product too keep in with my OCD illness

AFAIK the Hercules would do the job. I like it personally. Only slight drawback is that it is low torque and an LP12 often needs the slightest push to get going, Might be fine with a Systemdek platter though

Im hopefully changing the Glass platter at a later date. Just getting a 15mm flat white Delrin platter from somewhere. Should look great. Funnily enough I bought a white Achromat for the IIX I had and it looked awesome. I was a bit gutted when I didn’t like the sound. Tried that Achromat with quite a few other decks and it always looked lovely but never worked.
