My first attempt at using photobucket hope it works..
Perspex 6 with a Phonobox RS..
Love this table it's rock solid and vibration free the sub chassis is supported by magnets I can actually knock on the plinth with my knuckles and it's dead quiet..
Great sounding inky blacks full of micro details can show off some bad recordings though..

    That's a beautiful table! The opposing magnets is a really cool feature too. Enjoy!

Now there is a lot that bird don't know, but it don't change the fact that the world is happening to him all the same.

    Very nice table. A little better quality than my new pick up of the JVC QL- a200. Now at 1st I thought that was an odd shape and place for an arm rest wood no lesss, thankfully the pix cleared it up and is it a level. Mine was a little bigger torpedo style.Photobucket has worked for me to .Much better than posting before.

    I'm not a big TT guy, but that sure is "pretty"! As for bad records, welcome to MY collection. It's one reason I don't fret about vinyl; mine sucks!

    Thanks guys..
    Never thought about lighting the plinth I guess it would look ok, just not sure if I want to do that yet..
    Same cart in sig..
    Looking at trying a MC next just looking for a bargain, the hidden gem..
    Maybe a Denon DL-304 or Dynavector 10x5 or any other suggestions?

    The lighting was just a suggestion, an option folks with clear plinths can use. Done right it looks nice.

    Cartridge wise, I like both Denon and Dynavector. Do you want more dynamic or more laid back? Different tables can respond differently to cartridges. Dynavectors are very dynamic sounding. Currently have a Karat 17D3 that doesn't have many hours left. I have a Denon 103R with aftermarket aluminum body that sounds great but the Karat beats it. One cartridge that I am considering replacing the Karat with is an AT33EV, another LOMC (low output MC). Can be had for around $500. I installed one for a friend, Blake, and was very impressed with it.

    The Clearaudio line is nice too. Ed Savinon had one on a table I tuned up for him. Can't recall the model but it was LOMC.

    Very cool looking all lit up..
    I think I will check out some lighting options for mine..now where to look that is the question..
    Was thinking about the Denon 103R as well a real bargain they say and compared it to the Dynavector 20xsomething..
    The Dynavector was victorious but the Denon was a very very close second..at 1/4 the price..
    I think I like the middle of a Dynamic and Laidback, lol
    I'll check out the ATEV33..
