In all cases the first thing you’ll notice is The Wand’s unusual looking large diameter carbon-fibre arm tube which is cut off at a sharp angle, hence effectively negating the need for a traditional headshell.

Instead, the cartridge bolts straight to the arm via a fixed metal block. The cartridge angle is fixed but with an adjustable overhang.

The 9” arm, being mounted at a pivot-to-spindle distance of 222mm, can be used as a drop-in replacement for Rega tonearms.

Design Build Listen also manufacture a range of adaptors for Lenco, Throens, SME and the Linn LP12. The ‘Master Series’ also features high quality sockets rather than a supplied arm cable, allowing the customer to choose their preferred audiophile lead.

    I once owned the Wand Plus. A very unique looking beast which can be a little tricky to set up just so. The 7 page manual obviously helps!

    Oh just in case anyone hasn’t congratulated you on your 100th, here’s to the next 999 😊

    Looking forward to your imminent Titan interconnect/speaker cable revirew. They’re coming out at the end of this month, that’s all I’m saying!
