This is a really pretty system.  You have a lot to be proud of.

Is the fullrange driver perchance by Audio Nirvana?  I have a great memory of an RMAF room several years back with their stuff in it.

I came across the contact info of the machine shop that fabricated the heavy platter of the SP10 MK2.

WBass, I don’t know where the heavy platter was machined.  These sorts of things, usually, are special order from a machinist.
You can, however, get a heavy outer ring, machined to fit the chamfer of your SP10 platter, from Wayne’s Audio.  I bought mine there.  The platter comes with a cleverly made fixture to help you mount the ring quickly.  Also, I use Wayne’s record weight and component feet that incorporate a ball bearing. You can find him on the web.  He has been a reliable dealer.

Nice system! Great choices, and the DIY speakers look great.

Can I ask, where did you source the heavy platter for the SP10 MKII?

Very nice on so many levels including beauty.
