still in the process of but capable of producing sweet sound as is with an old cartridge ...an RCA 70-B from 1937 fitted with a Japanese gray 108 clone...to be fitted with a Zero for the -50-ies mono stuff that invariably got mangled in digitizing.
What turntables do you use? Pictures would be nice as well :-)

I just realised last Sunday, November 17 I have owned the mighty Pioneer Exclusive P3 for 15 years. 15 years of trouble free musical pleasure.
special thanks to my friend Travis who found one in Japan, had Pioneer service it and the tonearm, pack it perfectly and ship it to me all those years ago.
Having straight and S shaped arm wands gives one the ability to get the best out of almost any cartridge.
no need for isolation as it has build in isolation down to 5hz for the table and tonearm which is isolated completely from the wood plinth.
Once you get used to the start stop in in less than a split second, it's hard to use anything else.
a modern day vintage classic if there ever was one and still ahead of the game in many respects 45 years after it was released in Japan only. - they only ever kept the best for themselves back in those days.

Another classic Japanese vintage DD is the Denon DP100! I also have the P3a and Technics SP10MK3, and I have auditioned 2 DP100 in my friend’s place, one with the stock arm, the other have the FR66S. Between the 3 TTs, my impression is that the SP10MK3 is all power and excitement, the P3a has less power but more finesse, the DP100 is right in between. If I have to choose between the 3, the DP100 will be my choice!
