Hi Geoff
thanks for the welcoming message.

I have collected a fair few vintage turntables over the past years notably the Byer professional 12, few Orpheus Silexes ( both Aussie stuffs) ,Garrard 301, Technics sp 10 mkii , Lenco 75,78, Dual 1229,1009, thoren 150 mkii etc etc..and im using Leak st20 plus Quad 57s
But my heart goes to a custom made table weighing about 30 kgs. The platter itself weighs about 20kgs. Unfortunately, the dc motor defunct and i butchered one of my Orpheus Silexes which uses a idler wheel and a belt to tug this heavy platter and it works perfectly fine. I use a SME 3012 s2 / spu g headshell and Denon 103. It sounds marvelous to me. In my opinion, it sounds way better than my Garrard and Technics. Hence they are sitting on the back bench at the moment.
Anyhow thanks again and happy new year to you.
cheers
