    Oooooh, loving the look of that black anodized platter, very shall we say understated It sure as hell matches the Tecky visually & looks fantastic!

    Nice arm to Marco, hope the combo sings for you
    Bests, Mark

    It's not anodized, Mark, it's some kind of acrylic material. It does look gorgeous, though. We had a very interesting session comparing platters today. Marco will publish it in detail soon.

    This is Marco's deck chez moi earlier this evening, sporting my Shelter 5000 cartridge (next to my deck which is temporarily without its platter):

    These tables look great with almost any arm, IMHO. The Ortofon looks right at home.

    You can get that look with just about any 12x0m* (minus the pitch display) with a good powder coat paint job and a blue LED kit.
    Lyrics are the ramblings of man, sometimes inspired by The Creator, most often, not.
    But music (melodies, harmonies, rhythms), that's God stuff.
    Always was. Always will be.


    One of the biggest lies ever told was that only certain kinds of people should listen to certain kinds of music.

    Funnily enough, my pop-up post light has failed so I've bought a white LED kit to replace all the lights.

    White is cool (no kidding & as it happens ) Martin, keep them toned down brightness wise & I should say I'd like your style

    Beautiful. Very nice looking indeed. Something to be very proud of.
