An iron fist in a velvet glove

Finally succumbed, but it is gorgeous is it not?

Plinth is many layer of birch ply topped with curly maple top, after all hundreds of ace guitar makers must know something?

Micro Seiki MA-505 LS arm and various MM and MC carts

Plinth is 3 times the thickness, Vibrapods feet, newer ac motor and IEC connector built into plinth so can run any PC you like, Cardas wired tonearm with 5 pin phono plug, Groove tracer platter, metal sub platter  from England with the corresponding Zaphire ball bearing, custom bronze counter weight .

Gave it a test run with the included Nagoaka110 cart and I have to say it sounded pretty darn good.

Now fitted with Ortofon 2m Mono cart and stylus.

Origin Live Encounter mk3c tone arm

Ortofon Black Cadenza cartridge.
