Time to end the tinkering ?

If you're happy with how it's sounding now Oliver just kick back and enjoy the tchoons. That is what it is all about after all

Absolutely. My ears are impressed. for now lol

the TT is crying out to be veneered in something exotic!

"End the tinkering"?!??
No sir, it has only just begun!
First, trash the sorry excuse for a counterweight on the RB250 and replace it with a Michell Technoweight, Clearaudio or summat...
You will be surprised!
I liked the look of the chassi by the way, purposeful i'd say!
All the best

Ha ha that made giggle. Arm upgrades are on my mind but I was thinking I may upgrade from rb202 to rb300 rather than stub, weight etc on a cheaper arm.

Chassi ? Do you mean my cheap mdf emergency turntable stand ?

I meant the TT, thought you were contemplating veneering it?
And for the arm, i personally like RB2xx with another counterweight/stub better than any RB3xx i have heard so far. (They are a'plenty...) Not a big difference though. Both of them benefit from a better (underslung) counterweight but the RB2xx much more so.

I still am considering it, just apprehensive.

I think I'm gonna go for the counterweight upgrade, tangospinner Subplatter upgrade then maybe look into veneering. Finally I may look into the external power supply. But that's serious money by then lol

It does look rather industrial to me (plinth) and a veneer would help give it some class if done well so I may take some time to learn how to veneer like a pro before I start that escapade !
