I bought this for my previous turntable, and it made a significant improvement: bass and soundstage were much improved. Sadly, it doesn't fit my new t/t (it needs a 7mm clearance below) so I'm having a special one made. It has a very small dent on the top ring, but has no affect on performance.

I believe that they are not currently made: Rudolph needs a large enough order to manufacture a batch. I think they are priced at €475 (approx £390). I'd like £250 plus p&p.

PM me if interested.

This is what it says on the supplied link (yes, the use of the term Universal might seem odd):

"The Universal RSR is not suitable for every turntable.
The maximum size of the platter should not be greater than 318 mm
The distance between spindle and arm base should be at least 170 mm which is the case with practically all tonearms on the market, except for the Triplanar VII which has uncommon measurements as Doug Deacon found out.
If the turntable is a belt drive with the belt around the periphery of the platter, there should be at least 7 mm space between top of the mat and the belt. And the same distance between the top of the platter and any other obstacle, knob, motor housing, etc."

The website gives you a few of the t/ts its normally used with (to great effect). Apparently fabulous on SP10s...
