    Nah, I kept it like that for a couple of years, then p/exed it against a new deck from Inspire Hifi. Got £500 for it (only paid £300 originally, so that was ok

    Which made me think Russell; Inspire have an LP12 modification service - maybe you could buy one of their plinths for reasonable money, or even one from their pile of discarded original plinths. Avoid the one with the shitty gloss black finish though
    I just dropped in, to see what condition my condition was in

    T/T: Inspire Monarch, X200 tonearm, Ortofon Quintet Blue. Phono: Project Tube Box CD: Marantz CD6006 (UK Edition); Amp: Musical Fidelity A5 Integrated.
    Speakers: Zu Omen Def, REL T9i subwoofer. Cables: Atlas Equator interconnects, Atlas Hyper 3.0 speaker cables

    T'other system:
    Echo Dot, Amptastic Mini One,Arcam A75 integrated, Celestion 5's, BK XLS-200 DF

    A/V:
    LG 55" OLED, Panasonic Blu Ray, Sony a/v amp, MA Radius speakers, REL Storm sub

    Forget the past, it's gone. And don't worry about the future, it doesn't exist. There is only NOW.

    Thanks for this, it’s a great idea.

    As to say if they offer me a dodgy Black one I’ll know to avoid!

    Thanks everyone for their input however I think crisis averted for now as I’ve moved the Sondek into the lounge which my Gato and Davone’s and although the plinth isn’t Walnut, I don’t think it looks too out of place here so will how we go for a bit

    One day, I'll get around to getting one of these. My current plinth is black, a little tatty, and pretty uninspiring.

    You could paint it, veneer it or vinyl wrap it (admittedly vinyl wrapping could be tricky with any fluting )..
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!
