Martin you or whoever does it? (you I presume as I don't know any vinyl fans who let someone else clean their turntable) has the most proficient dust elimination system I have
ever seen . the Pictures aren't to shabby either, very nice indeed

Thanks, Paul. Dust is as big a problem for me as for anyone else. I tend to let it accumulate then get the duster out and have a big go at it. Flash macro photography is remorseless in showing up the stuff, unfortunately.
Nice nice nice John !! (Any chance of your upgrades / mods John ?)
This is exactly why I started The Tech' Gallery to showcase the different approaches. High end arms - Dynavector, Micro Seiki, Ortofon, SME, Linn Ekos.....Top notch carts !, SPU's, Shelter 5000, Koetso Black, 2M Black etc, Who would have thought it ? Yep Us ! Keep 'em comin' !

Hi 'REXTON', Your Techie has undergone what can only be described as 'extensive' upgrading and modifications - Extensive !!. You clearly want to take it as far as you can / no compromise and you can. Along with Marco and Martin, I'm quite envious that you have been able to do that as I'd go as far as I'd like to if I could, so good on you. A part of me really wants to do the Paul Hynes reg mods, pcb and SR7 etc - That would be the cherry on top, who knows one day hopefully! Bless up !
