NICE! :thmbsp: Gotta love the look of the tubes and wires underneath it's shelf.

Not like I can follow that up too well, but here goes nothing...

My main turntable, an AR XB. Mostly stock, except for having had the arm rewired and the headshell socket refitted/reglued (twice!) by Joel Thorner last spring (he did beautiful work; a shame we lost him :sigh, the stock wiring harness replaced with RadioShack gold cable (well, except for the original ground wire, which I've routed into the left channel connector's shell), and a Shure M97xE cartridge fitted in place of the original(?) Shure M91ED. Have it sitting on a set of Audio-Technica spring-feet, to try and deaden the vibrations transferred to it by the wooden floor my stereo cabinet sits on top of. All in all, an awesome-sounding turntable.

My former main turntable, a Technics SL-1301. Has had numerous issues, including an intermittent issue with the quartz lock circuitry (when it pops it's ugly head every once in awhile, it causes the platter to speed up, then slow down, several times a minute), the right front suspension being largely ineffective (not much spring to it, regardless of how it's adjusted; when I got it, all four suspension adjustment nuts were screwed down tight), and a bit of distortion to the audio when playing (likely needs a new needle). Other than that, it's an excellent piece of equipment, at least when it's working...

that's a really beautiful table. Looks nice on that wooden rack. Would like to see a pic of your entire system. Is that a Mac down there?

Looks like a Rega arm with a Sumiko Blue Point No.2...how are you liking your cartridge? Does it track well? What do you have your tracking force set at?

Yes, yes and yes. A Rega RB300. I like the cartridge. Force set at 1.8 grams, anti-skate at 1. Do you have experience with this set up?

I'm curious, what interconnects are those?

Glad to see you're satisfied with your turntable setup now. So I take it you found the "sweet spot" with the BPS?

I am curious about that too.

Okay, here goes....promise not to laugh...
Here is my Elac/Miracord 10 badged as a Benjamin Stereo 200 with a Shure M44-7 cart.

Actually, it sounds surprisingly good..

[Mr. Lin]

Gourmet, to say that's a rare and beautiful-looking turntable I think would be an understatement.

 

[Mr. Lin]

I am curious about that too.

I'm betting it's DIY.

 

[Juniperlater]

I'm betting it's DIY.

Me too. That is why I wanted to know. I wondered what plans he used. I have delved into the realm of diy cables a bit and am always looking to try something new.

 

[nu2toobs]

Gourmet, is that brush badger hair?

The only person who has to like your stereo is you.

There will always be someone with more and someone with less. Security comes not from what you have, but knowing what you can live without.

There are many roads to audio nirvana. While the ultimate goal may be the destination, don't forget to enjoy the ride.

Agree!!!!!
