Her dress is Quilted Sycamore with black banding inlays, and her skin has a gentle sheen :D

Looks good Gwyn. Lovely plinth - hand made?

What have you got there - Goldring Lenco GL75 + Hadcock 228?

Yes it's a Hadcock, fully rewired with Cardas and external cable terminates on top plate, so only wireing on arm is the ultafine cardas

Always nice with a little peeping! ;) You've done a beautiful job with the "Lady"!
I'm sure she sounds terrific also, and you know there's even more to be had with a better pickup!
Which i'm positive the deck and arm are more than capable of handling!
Regards Mike

Nice job - was it a lot of work using epoxy/resin (?) to fill the top plate? I also have a 75 I will be replinthing...won't be as nice as yours I'd guess :)

Just had my Grado Platinum back from Expert Stylus with paratrace tip.

Now the lady sings like an angel :D

Anyone recommend a phono stage for the Grado?

She is playing at the moment through a JEC TC760 phono stage and sounding fantastic, so as usual ( if it sounds this good through that, what will a more expensive stage sound like). :mental:
