I am curious as to how you intend to decouple the arm board.
The plinth is I believe one of Carls workshop build; I bought it second hand although unused. Excellent build quality and damned heavy.
Keith, glad to hear from you again! Sounds like you have a stunning deck and skills to match if your making your own tonearms, way out of my league! I've got a spare DECCA FFSS mk 2 sitting on my sideboard doing nothing so I may install it with a MKII at some point. And, funnily enough I have been thinking about getting Koetsu repaired (as it's not selling) and maybe using it on my Alphason. I love my M55E but it can easily be bettered. Decoupling the tonearm is pretty simple. I'm just going to have a tonearm pod made up which will inside the plinth but not actually attached in any way.
