Yes, of course. No argument there. However, the state of affairs with me is that I've not heard any SP10 so far sound as good as my modded Techy, and as no-one I know has fully upgraded an SP10, such a comparison isn't available.

Like you, my current comparison benchmark is the L-07D. The last time I compared one belonging to a mate, to my Techy, the L-07D won, but not by a massive margin - and that was before my T/T was fitted with the new Ortofon arm, better SPU, Funk platter and Paul Hynes SR7.....

It would be interesting to revisit the situation again and see what happens, which is something that I intend to do soon, so watch this space!

Hi Marco

Did you ever get round to hearing Andrew's LP12 against your deck ?

I guess it comes down to you can trust and believe ! If Richard tells me he can restore an SP10 , that's good enough for me as I've gotten to know the guy and he won't and doesn't promise miracles , just very down to earth and to the point !

The Funk platter is very interesting , shame it's 600 knicker as I ain't got 2 pot to Piss in at moment lol , but at least my deck is alive again
