Redboy's setup from the audio underground

Nice! How do like the new to you Garrard in the slate?? Is that a modded 103??

Thanks!

The Garrard is pretty freakin' sweet, to be honest. I bit the bullet and paid good money to have it thoroughly overhauled and this thing spins like new, now. Quiet, sexy, smooooth...

Cartridge is a 103 in an Uwe malachite body.

I like the slate plinth overall but I am noodling on the next one, already. I would prefer a more compact, vertical option with an outrigger armboard like my friend Tom did with his:

Very nice Nate.
Soooo you want to go to wood for a plinth vs. slate? Or am I just :confused:

Nope, you didn’t read that wrong. I may have to trade slate for wood. But it’s really the form factor that I’m hung up on, rather than the plinth material. I could probably be talked into a (layered) slate plinth in the smaller format!

Aesthetics are more important to me than they should be...

It's been awhile since I posted any updates, but that's largely because I haven't made too many changes!

A couple of Lenco Heaven guys came over this past weekend for an birthday/anniversary celebration (LH is 10!). I totally forgot to take pictures, but my friend Scott snapped a couple!

Here are his pictures of the current system. The 301 and a Ray Samuels phono pre are the newest kids on the block.

Beautiful setup here man! I've been plotting a move to a PTP Lenco or Garrard for some time now. Have you been happy with the Schick?

I don't know if I'm in the minority on this, but I'm currently running a DL-103r in an aluminum Pulse body, and while I like it, it doesn't seem to have the magic that my DL-103 had. The 103 was denuded and super-glued to a heavy copper Audiomods shim, but even in the stock body I think I preferred the 103. Sadly, the 103 didn't survive my attempts to separate it from the shim.

Thank you! I'm pretty happy with my toys at the moment. The Schick is a wonderful tonearm - I've been using at least one for the last nine years and can't see any reason to quit now!

The DL-103 has been a regular fixture in the system for a long time, too. I like it.
