Wow, that came out of the blue. Nice looking LP12 which shouldn't need modifying any more. Pleased your enjoying.
Thanks man. It really was a snap decision but an offer i couldnt refuse came up so i flogged my naim rig in 24hrs which allowed me to fund the croft setup. Link here

Ive also decided to offload the LP12 to fund a new project. Its a funny old game this . I spend all my time and money getting my setup “finished” then as soon as i do i change it

Great looking set up and a particularly beautiful LP12.
Where did you get the plinth from? It has a fine looking grain

Thanks Alan, its go big or go home from now on haha. Ive just added some NOS 1956 RCA valves in all the hotspots and its taken another huge leap in performance again. Very happy with it all indeed. Ive just bought a Reed tonearm to go on my next turntable project which i will be putting together over the coming months. Will the madness ever stop

Thanks . Its santos rosewood, very highly figured so beautiful character . The company was ‘layers of beauty’ . Its masterfully crafted. The mitres are impeccable, the grain perfectly matched , lovely glossy finish, and ive had the calipers on it and it is millimeter perfect dimensionally so all the parts sit square and flush. Id highly recommend them.
