I suppose it was always going to happen at some point.......
Picked this up from geoff101 this morning, After the almost 5 hour round trip it's now happily spinning in my living room. Too early to really say much yet other than I love the functionality and heft of it. I've stuck a new stylus on the stanton 505 it came with but having read up on the stanton that will be replaced with something more "hi fi" fairly soon ( in all liklihood an at150 mlx).

Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

Hey Grant,
It's an itch I've wanted to scratch for a while and Geoffs one seems in great nick so I'm v happy. Unfortunately I can't directly compare my SRM and this without a bit of a faff in changing carts and moving TT's on and off my rack so any direct a to b listening is unlikely to happen.
I will say that after only an hour or two with it I'm loving the instantaneous start up and speed change!

The deck is now sitting on a set of 50mm sorbothane isolation pods, I've swapped out the original headshell and Stanton cart and fitted a ADC headshell and At150 MLX. The felt matt that the deck came with has now been binned and I have an reso-matt sitting on a cork matt.
Some photos to follow tonight hopefully.

I must applaud your setup BenJust kept looking better and better as progressed trough the thread
I see that you recently aquired a 1210 too, thats pretty cool! I "converted" too the Technics side of decks just recently and I am pretty stunned of how good these decks actually perform out of the box! It's definitely a keeper for my sake, and it will receive a number of upgrades along the line. Currently I have swapped the stock headshell with a LPGear Supreme headshell and using 2xVibro-stopp "mats". I just fitted the Isonoe feet w. techniboots on mine, looks really heavy duty and cleaned up the sound from the midst and down! Found good use of the stock feet too (pics in my thread)
