If you're any good with a spray can you could get a finish like that or even better, i'm thinking about doing a translucent red over silver on the sl1800, when i have a bit of time to kill

Thanks for asking that Marco! I did suspect it was a achromat with the centre label removed. The DP-80 was a generation later than my DP-6000 & built on the strengths of the 6000. One of the main differences was the platter though! The DP-80 had a split platter to help cancel external vibrations & is infact flat & not stepped like my DP-6000 platter.Yes, shockingly sexy pics as usual, King!
What's the mat you're using on the DP80? One of the guys here, Alfie, has got a Denon, and he's struggling to find a quality aftermarket mat that will fit the rather unusually shaped platter
Marco.
The Achromat does look favourite though! I just need to talk to Arthur at Funk & find out how they cut/turn them down, then I'll get the centre cut out of mine!
Lovely pics of lovely TT's again!Hi Marco,
Oh….sexy pics? I love a very different kind of them which can provoke me with a sense of excitements, no wet dreams though. Hehe!
The mat is the Funk Firm Acromat on the Denon. It offers a more natural sound than the original, with darker background and better transparency. The SDS mat is more dynamic and lively in comparisons, a vivid kind of presentation
