Hi folks,
long time since I have contributed to this forum (missing Marco), I thought that I would have a look to see if there were any updates on the man, saw this thread and couldn’t resist:

I have had my LP12 for about 35 years. Pre Cirkus model, bought the Ittok about 5 years later (second hand), removed baseboard, replaced Valhalla with a Heed Orbit when the Valhalla burnt out, it has had a couple of services, I fitted a “blue belt” and gave it an oil change about two years ago, just bought a new 10x5 mkII and a felt mat (new one fits ).

I still love it and consider that it has been great value for money. Blue belt was well worth while, but most of my recent system changes have been around amplification - Art Audio - Quintet power amp and Vinyl 1 phono stage.
The old “pre Cirkus” has been more than good enough to allow me to appreciate how good the amplifiers are - happy bunny here.

PS - I also think that it looks “right”
