    I find it hard to part with turntables; I sold my LP12s and have no regrets, but I got the 301 rebuilt by Classic turntables and 2 years later it's still in the box waiting for me to sort out the plinth.

    I need to find the right arm too. Something that just works and sounds and looks fantastic would fit the bill, especially if it makes a Decca sing. Maybe I should just save up and buy a Kuzma 4 point or something, but it's a lot of money and I've never heard one.
    A zeta would be a good choice, supposedly designed around a Decca cartridge.

It really just does everything right and makes it look (and sound) effortless in the bargain.
    DP80 works for me too. I'm sure the Sony is virtually indistinguishable in sound quality from the denon

    I'm sure he will but I know he's got lots of work on. And probably needs them at the minute.

    in that case why dont you just measure with a tape from center of spindle to the center of the tonearm pivot yourself,it will give an indication if your in the ball park at least.its very simple to do

    Right!

    I have measured it roughly with a metal rule. From what I can see, it's 225mm. Id put money on it being spot on, knowing Angus. I can't be 100% sure without taking the arm out.
