    Thanks.. it is lacquered and it’s made from Palisander.. I believe that this is a rosewood and probably
    a Brazilian rosewood but I could be wrong about the Brazilian side of things.

    Here’s a few pics and I think the spikes were about £12 from eBay. If possible can one of the mods enlarge these please.

    palisander is German for Rosewood, so the word before the word palisander will give an idea where it was from..all as far as I know

    Hi Marco, never meant to sound offensive in the first place. So sorry if I ever "sounded" so. Although after re-reading my post, I still don't get where it is "disrespectful" as such. It's rather direct that I reckon. Written as I was realizing that it was the angled headshell beyond it's 'red' color that captivated my attention. It manifests that I guess. Afterwards others pointed out that "angle" and alignement factor as well...
    - Cart Denon DL-102 in bakelite Ortofon SPU 'G' type headshell
    - TA SME 3009 'Improved' converted in heavy mass with detachable headshell
    - TT Thorens TD160 'E' totally tweaked driven by an 'Eagle & RoadRunner' PSU & tachometer combo
    - Matts top to bottom: leather, cork, felt & 12" vinyl
    - Pre-amp 'Modulis' Isem
    - Amp 'Exampli' Etalon 2x40W
    - Speakers 12" Leak 'Sandwich' first generation creatively recapped
