Thanks for the kind words. It's a dark walnut (not as dark as I'd hoped) and finished in Danish oil. It's a tad patchy to be honest - I'll give it another 'scrub' at some point to even the finish out.

It actually still incorporates the original plinth. I simply bolted 4 pieces of MDF around the edge and filled the gaps. It still uses the same rubber chassis.

It has a Paul Hynes external PSU (it came like that when I bought it).

The change is purely cosmetic. Sticking these bits on has made absolutely no difference to the sound. But admittedly you could probably take it away and replace it with a Steepletone and I wouldn't hear the difference, so cloth-like are my ears
