I've been constant for a number of years but I know that it could change easily. Up to now it's been a very long process that began in the early 80s with most of the front end from the 80s.Early VPI HW-19 with only arm board replaced with plastic
Early all plastic(lead inside) TNT platter and bearing
springs replaced with VPI rubber isolators
Fidelity Research FR64fx arm with Technics EPC 100 MK4 MM pickup
Avid Pulsus phono stage with Nordost interconnect
