    Default Technics SP10 MK2

    Really glad to have finally received this yesterday morning.

    Delivery courtesy of master tech and friend Angus-Phonomac, who drove all the way down from Northampton yesterday morning with my baby.

    He's worked his magic on it, so serviced, re-capped, upgraded/improved and so on, where necessary, he does.

    The SP-10 and lovely EPA-250 tonearm have both been well 'serviced' and then mounted in a Panzerholz plinth he's made and machined to my desired requirements - the finish on the plinth is super smooth - great work as always.

    I haven't had a chance to hear it all yet as been mad busy - It's my birthday on Monday so I'm out with fam' and friends today and tomorrow but as soon as I get the chance, I'll be getting the protractor out and setting up the tonearm up properly.

    I'm off work on Monday too so will be looking to set up and indulge.

    To say I'm chuffed and excited would be about right

    I know my wall shelf is rated at 120kgs but I don't think I want to test the fixings

    I bet the TT weighs a ton!

    I have a few TT upgrades in mind whish *should* squeeze a bit more out of the Techy.

    I am also sending mine to Acoustistand for a refinish job, probably next year.

    I love mine. Welcome to the club!

    All you need now is a Tenuto

    Nice one Rob, did not know you were going down this route. If its anything like Oli's it will sound superb I am sure especially with that lovely Cadenza Black.

    Have a great birthday

    If you want a turntable that add nothing and takes nothing away, this is the way to go.
