    Marco.
    Vic does a 12mm version of the Reso-mat (for the Salvation, but it's available on request) - that might be worth a try here?

    I don't hear anything like that, Jerry, glad to say.

    Hi Martin,
    I know you have said the platter is not coming off but I would welcome a comparison of my platter against it when it's ready, hopefully before Christmas? Would be interesting to see a plastic bake off as my platter is a form of plastic but obviously not acrylic!

    Happy to try it out, David. At least the platter and Achromat can be removed as one as there is no access to lifting bolt holes required. Is there any chance you might be down south any time in the New Year? You might want to come hear the results for yourself.

    I have a couple of customers down your way who have ordered technics power supply's off me a while ago (the MK II version) so when I go down to fit them I may pop round to see you and I will bring you some decent power cords to try, the MK II ultimate which is even better than the one's Marco has

    Hope that is OK?

    No - it's bolted and bonded in place. There will be no removing it ever
