I had a pair made up for the REF160 monos back when I had those, now I am using one under the Extreme with a Daiza platform, and one under the Pilium Achilles amp.

Had some „trouble“ on several LPs on the Sorane SA-1.2 - so I mounted the Colibri today on the DPS3:
Now the records, which have jumped on the StSt, run through without any problems.
Sound is awesome

Sweet!! Bokrand/SPU is a great combo. What’s on the other arm? And are those SUTs from Redboy?

Over a decade ago, I wrote about microphone transformers for MC step up duty in my defunct website.
Back then there were no cast aluminum boxes.
Now I've updated them inspired by Nate's (Redboy) idea.

Hi,
The wood plinth part is made with okoume ply wood and another softer ply wood, 5 layers, 20 mm each. Inside I have inserted leads and glued to fix them. The platter s bearing is a conventional oil bearing made form solid bronze, have the spindle diameter of 13 mm, allowance is pretty tight and once I inlet the oil take very long time for the spindle to reach the bottom. The first time I inlet the oil from the bottom part. The bearing is fixed to an aluminum floating plate, in the bottom of this plate I added sound proof material. The floating is achieved with 3 mag and some OR to keep the lower and upper mags entered. There is no metal to metal contact, all is decoupled. The acrylic platter is about 4.6 Kg, i bought from Scheu Analog at that time. The puc is made of acrylic and aisi 316, all the 3 part decoupled. The motor is an old 5 inch floppy disk motor, brush less type , 12 V DC with its electronic cards control. Has a pretty good power/torque and not too bad speed stability. I use now a single motor with 3 round belt. The tonearm is a kind of clone of the Supatrac, it is 12 inch, arm wand in bamboo and inside I inserted balsa. Case of the motor is all made of steel, the base is very heavy as it is the top.
Best rgds
