Oops, sorry Fred, didn't know you had already completed a plinth. Howzit compare with your other 'tables? I see you recommending the Audio Technica 1000-series tonearms all over the place, you must like them! Now my absolutely favourite tonearm (I made a tonearm cable out of Music Boy/Petra for it), I am now getting my second one! More lucid, more detail, better bass and rhythm than modded Regas, and a removable headsell to boot, does it get any better than this?! The Music! The Music! I have to say though, that the Denon DL103 on the Rega on a Direct Coupled Lenco is about the best I've heard, period (the Denon likes the Regas better than the ATs, so far). There is a synergy between the Denon and the Regas, and between the Regas and the Lencos, and finally, especially between the Direct Coupled Lenco and the whole shebang, which ends up having the slam and rhythm of a Decca, and the finesse, smoothness and filigree detail and air of an upper-level Koetsu. If you haven't yet got yourself a Denon (vanilla-flavour), then stampede to the closest dealer poste-haste! Of course, there are other contenders, but none as "perfect" as this happy Denon (which is to say, the best of both MMs - PRaT - and MCs - speed and focus - rolled into one, with no adible tonal aberrations). Jean Hiraga an audio legend, once said the Denon was the most perfect transducer ever developed, and hearing it on the Direct Coupled Lenco with re-wired Rega, I have to agree. In fact, I am going to make a special Lenco just for this combo! Ain't these cheapie Lencos a blast?! Off to the garage to start sawing!
