That's the DBs! If that's white - that's what I want mine to look like. Show us some more please. How did you do it?

Not white, standard finish, just a trick of the light.

Hi Chris,

It certainly is no slouch. It has that MC quality of transparency (well almost) and it would be difficult to say it was either a MM or MC in a blind listening test, IMHO. It compares very well with much more expensive carts IMLE.

Well yes, around 60 smackeroos. Of course you could always paint it yourself, after removing it. Or ask your local, friendly paint shop, if you have one, to paint if for you.

Hey, that's some trick of the light :scratch: I've seen those face plate covers but what I like is the white look with the printing as well - the industrial look. Why didn't they do a white vesion :doh: I need a negative Technics to fit in my slowly developing, missus approved, grey/white room

Hi Simon,

Nice pics (and room) - you need to put those in The Gallery (if you haven't already done so) :)

Also nice to see a decent record collection, as well as a good hi-fi system! ;)

My 1210 with a Jelco and my go to cartridge Technics MC 310 with 1/2"adapter.
This p-mount Moving Coil cartridge was originally designed for the Technics SL-10. It was recently given the Ruby Tip Sound Smith treatment.

I hear that is a very nice sounding cartridge. How do you like it?

Everyone talks about getting the synergy right with a 1200 , i never thought until recently about using one of the old vintage Technics cartridges , I'm thinking the 310mc will be very good indeed in the stock techy arm .

This is the shortened answer:-

New website done by Hamish and associates, ready to launch, problem, I have over 700 products to put on, not ready as take ages to do, I also have another business venture starting 01.06.11 which I need to get ready, I also build power cords for a living as well as umpteen other things, result is I am letting the comp. go on for a bit longer as I like photos of TT's anyway as I am a sad twat.

OK..........:ner:

Have you sent your photos in bud?

LAST DAY FOR POSTING OF PHOTOS IS 31.05.11 and the winners will be notified 01.06.11, the first winner will get a pm from me telling him of his good fortune, once he has replied with his choice of prize from the list originally posted I will knock it off the list on the thread and pm 2nd prize winner etc, etc, hope that is fair, rather than give somebdy a prize they may not want they can choose their own from the list.

Is there the slightest chance David Price would send pictures of his vinyl spinners for us mere mortals to peep at? The Marantz would be nice to see. Would you give him a nudge Adam?

Can I put my vote in for continuing the pic posting indefinitely, even after the comp is over? No doubt, there will be new (and old) members who can contribute greatly to our need to shamelessly salivate over these objects of desire.

Before the retip job by Soundsmith it was a little to laid back for my taste. Now it is clean and smooth without being bright, a perfect match for my system.

good idea, when we change TT's as we often do then new pics can be added as well as new members pics also

They made a couple and they also made even better than RM's AP2600.

Hi Dave,

As promised, a few more pictures of the Onkyo PX-100M - I've decided that a career in photography would not be a good idea - I certainly think they are better than my original efforts, however, and I have tried some arty 'on the angle' close-up shots! :lol: (:doh:)

Hope they fit the bill, anyway:

It's great to see another Dynavector arm in action, Paul. Is that a DV-501?

Hi Martin,

'It's great to see another Dynavector arm in action, Paul. Is that a DV-501?'

It's a 505, but both the 5 and 1 are of a similar vintage and finish. Interestingly, I have tracked down 8 other owners of the Onkyo PX-100M, and several use or have used Dynavector arms. Indeed, when I got hold of my unit, the original armboard was set up for a 501.

Paul , that's disturbingly attractive , be honest now , do you kiss it goodnight
Chris/Marco - I haven't started kissing my beloved...errm...I mean turntable, but a loving pat at the end of an evening sesh ( :eek: ) is often given :lolsign: There we are, tone suitably lowered!

Cheers,

Paul.

Lump of fudge... that's a very cool and interesting arm/cart; had to google it. And right next to it, a lump of fudge pressed into a vinyl waffle. Perfect.
