Hi Chris,

yes its a fairly new design so not much out there in the way of tweaking tips. It's the kind of deck that could easily be overlooked but all the basics are spot on.

I would assume the power supply is SMPS but I haven't actually been inside it yet to inspect, possibly a job for the weekend.

Regarding other mods, it looks like it has a similar layout around the tonearm fixing point as a 1210 so a rega straight-arm replacement would likely fit however I think an SME type might fit my needs better as I wish to retain the ability to swap headshells.

Guess I've got no choice but to open her up and see what she's made of now!

Luckily I've got all my tools out downstairs as I'm also in the middle of putting an upgrade power supply, bearing and cross-brace in my LP12!

Busy bank holiday weekend ahead . . .
