Here’s what we really need in the States, and it would be the biggest upgrade to the table in years…it’s this:

More fettlers in the large metropolis areas throughout the country…and I’m not kidding here!!:unsure::unsure::whistle::rolleyes:(y)

I thought the obvious component to upgrade would be the Urika, since it is what houses electronics, and that is where Linn have developed better technology. Bearing, power supply and cartridge have all been recently upgraded. That leaves sub-chassis and arm. I can't imagine how to improve on the one-piece Keel. So that leaves the tonearm, which it isn't.

Perhaps we will see something to do with the suspension. Maybe a plinth/top plate of one piece machined out of a solid billet of alumin(i)um. $$$$$£££££€€€€€€

Titanium plinth? I can’t afford any more upgrades anyway so it might as well be something that is way out of reach.

Unfortunately, DS is sounding so good these days that my rate of cartridge (Kandid) wear has slowed down a bit.
What's wear got to do, got to do with it?
When your Kandid gives you second level emotion.

Why keep a Kandid when a Kandid can be broken?
(Sorry, Tina.)

Hey!! A broke down the pup told me his mate told him that there’s a new Exakt cartridge on the way which digitises the analogue signal and transmits it directly to Exakt speakers via a proprietary Wi-Fi protocol. 🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤓

My wishful thinking is that these could be the new products. A new tonearm, made by Thales and possibly based on a much simplified Thales tonearm that either replaces the Akito 3B or slots in between Akito and Ekos SE. Second a matching EMT based cartridge to go with it, similar to Ekstatic but cheaper and maybe replacing the Krystal. The third a new more sophisticated Majik PSU replacement.
