This is a very tough one to let go.
Change of plinth direction means an opportunity to nab an amazingly fine performing Tonearm, which punches well,
well above its asking price. Its been totally reworked by Angus (phonomac),
anyone who has heard a Tonearm fettled by Angus will bow to his amazing results.
The bearings he uses really delivers fantastic flowing music.
