That is a really lovely thing Mike. Subtle yet striking. Tiny details like the bezel strip around the plinth and gold counterweight really do appeal. Like I say, just a lovely thing.

I'm quite taken with it.... Quality work.

Looks lovely! Did you do it yourself, excuse my ignorance what is the arm?

I believe it's 6 layers of MDF with an acrylic top plate and Black Walnut wood veneer.

Hi Adrian,

No, I had it made for me. The arm is an Audiomods Classic 2 with micrometer.

Beautiful, just beautiful - the metal trim really sets it off, as does the symmetrical location of the TT in the plinth.

That is a lovely looking table Mike and a particularly nice plinth.
