Hi again Bob,
I have done some minor diy mods myself, such as making up resistor plugs to nail down the resistive loading on my cart, (Dynavector XX2MKII). I just haven't done complex electronics assembly, though I did install my own dedicated circuit for my audio system. Getting my Scout Sig. to sound as it does was a challenge, lots of wailing and gnashing of teeth, but I stuck with it, and I love the way it sounds. Without these forums, though, I'd still be at square one. I do admire seeing the well-concieved, and executed, ideas of my fellow members.

Congrats again, regards,
Dan

Hi PTM,
I really admire your hands-on approach to your system. I would do the same thing, if I had the know-how. Most of my components are modded too, by the way, great price barrier- busters to good sound.
The plinth you've made is a great idea, the leg supports very novel, but available at most any well-supplied hardware store! Well done! Does the arm mount by a threaded column through the plinth?
I'm sure you get a great deal of enjoyment from this system, hands-on makes for much more enjoyment. By the way, did you build the Mark Kelly device? I thought about it, but it seemed a little beyond me.

Congratulations, enjoy,
Dan
