Stunning review on Analog Planet for Wand 9.5in Plus April 06 2025
I don't need to comment apart from to paste a couple of bits below;
…. it’s difficult to convey the absolute superiority of The Wand Plus over my previous Jelco TS-350S 9-inch tonearm. The now-defunct Jelco was indeed a good value at $1,500, but The Wand Plus completely outperformed it. The sound was a revelation — a refreshing slap in the face that redefined my vinyl listening experience with the Thorens TD 124 table. The bass was tight and pointed, the treble was precise, and the overall presentation was so confident, bold, widespan, and assured that it felt like a new way to enjoy old records. The Wand Plus commandeers vinyl playback with nothing left to the imagination, at a price point that redefines the lower end of high-end tonearms.
Conclusions
From the first needle drop with The Wand Plus 9.5-inch tonearm, I knew my Thorens TD 124 turntable paired with the Luxman LMC-5 MC cartridge had been forever transfigured. The differences were glaring, from the initial plummet of Gaucho to the final circling of the track with Kraftwerk. The Wand Plus arm soars to the top of the just-under $2K price range. It’s like being jolted awake to discover a windfall in your bank account, a wide-open weekend ahead, and life suddenly looking rosy and blessed. To be blunt, The Wand Plus 9.5-inch tonearm brings audio nirvana to this audiophile thing of ours.
