An idler and a belt drive! Great to have both presentations for reference, tailor your music to the turntable that serves it best. Very nice.  |

Hello Scott, the Sondek (Lingo, Keel, Ekos II Akiva) is already sold off, since the performance of the L 75 was so far better (a few Jean Naintais tweaks applied of course  ). The first one has a Shure V 15 III with a Jico needle. I tried the Ed Saunders needle as well but was disappointed by the silbliance in the high frequency range. The 2nd deck I am building right now has a Lenco P77 tonearm installed and a Zuaudio DL-103 MkII MC pickup installed. Quite 2 different impressions soundwise. The V 15 III is supported by an ifi iPhono2 phonopre, the Zuaudio is sitting in front of a Ray Samuels Audio Nighthawk F117. The deck will have to have a bit taken care of in the paintbooth after mofifying the top plate for the P77. I will post pics, after the job is done. Cheers Matthias |

Hi,
Welcome to the forum and what a Lenco, it really looks stunning.

Very cool. i think you'll like the P77 arm. Still kind of "old school", but well made and performs well.

Hi, even though I am a few steps behind schedule....the arm already performs very good together with the Zuaudio Pickup   |

Hi,
There was never any question, of the Lenco being better than the Sondek, which I am sorry, but do not rate, these are only my views.

I see you have one of Brian's CF tonearms and youvinylmevinyl's VTF adjustment kit. Very nice. What is this mat? It looks very cool |

Hello Pavel,
the original design is Oyade.
Sien does these in Stainless Steel. Puts 2 Kgs on top of the original platter weight.
Sounds very impressive though the tonearm cables will yet have to be burned in......
I will report, after everything is sorted out.
Cheers,
Matthias

Matthias, I have one more question. Where did you get this super cool-looking headshell?  |

I am doing these myself using vintage parts and Original Western Electric cables from the 1940s.
Quite a difference.......
The Headshell is made out of Carbon.

That's super impressive. I wish I had skills and equipment to make something like this myself.
