Audio Origami

Thought I'd share my experiences with 'j7' of Audio Origami.

I contacted 'j7' last year about getting a dead arm repaired. He could have gone ahead and taken the work on but instead persuaded me that the arm was probably to far gone and to save my pennies for a new one. Not often you see such up front and honest advice. One point to j7!

Then when I was getting depressed that I hadn't found an arm, he managed to link me with a seller. Two points to j7!

I now had a working TT again but with a dry-ish sump so, I bought the Booster Oil kit from him.

OK around £10 for a bit of oil sounds somewhat expensive, but the kit came very well recommended on several forums and uses very clever oil.

What can I say, kit was well packaged came with two lint free cloths to polish and clean the bearing, oil, syringe/dropper and long handled cotton bud to get the last of the old oil out. It also included loads of extras, a cart protractor, a strobe disc plus good very good instructions for all the bits.

What a difference an oil change made, worth an tenner? I'd definitely say so! Three points to j7!

cheers,

Johnnie has done arm work for me (SME3009 adjust/adding fancy gold-plated bits and a Pro-Ject rewire/adjust).

Workmanship is to genuine craftsman standard and material all of the highest quality plus one of the nicest guys you cold ever meet.

Highly recommended!

I'll 'third' that recommendation.
He did a silver re-wire of my SME 3012 recently with some balanced external wires with custom earth wire set-up . He spent lots of time on the phone discussing the options and audio in general . A real enthusiast and excellent quality/price ratio .

he did a rewire on my Roksan Artemiz arm, complete with a Cardas plug on the bottom for a very reasonable price. very quick too.


also another vote here for the booster oil. night and day.

j7 is a prince among men. He has just fettled my Lenco P77 and a grasping s*d he is definitely not!
I used to do my own arm rebuilds but now will send them to The Professional
