Nice one Ali - what plans have you got for it? Plinth/arm/cart etc? Still not got round to sorting mine, but still sounds amazing even in its current state. Love 'em!

Haven't a clue really Alex. Probably a slate plinth. Maybe a Trans-Fi arm, or a 12-inch arm of some description. Cartridge I haven't got a clue! Oh, and a Nick Gorham phono stage of course.Originally Posted by Alex_UK
It's a long term project though, I've other things to sort first.
