It had been a long time since I had built something. Time is always very short, but the 'need' to build was strong. Anyway, I had an old unused Rega P2 at home and lots of Michael Lim accessories, an acrylic platter and a Heed power supply ... and a friend with no turntable. So, here is my new creature:  |

The idea was to make another turntable on carbon-fibre cantilevers, like my predecessor The Poor Man's Wilson Benesch Circle, as it had performed well. https://www.lencoheaven.net/forum/index.php?topic=34703.0At the same time, I needed to use all the accessories I had. I decided, therefore, to modify the design.  I had the carbon fibre (leftover from previous work), while I used aluminium knobs to support the cantilevers.  |

Wow,
what a colour! But pretty sexy, the tone arm looks a bit sober. At least the pickup could be as red?
Are there any more pictures? How does it sound?
Best regards
