Some presents for my TD 124.
The first one will be matched with the Lyra Delos
while the second one will be matched with the Benz Reference
To try to make it similar to the cartridge I painted the headshell giving it a brier root-like effect
... and this is the final result

Some improvement on the turntable side:
- Stax tonearm has got a new carbon arm, so now it is a Stax UA-7 CF
- a new Thorens clamp;
- it has been installed again the original aluminium sub platter, and I have gained the instant stop of the platter;
- new cartridge, a Transfiguration Spirit.
But the most important are the new loudspeakers, a pair of Burmester B25 :-)
