Anyone Using A Logic Turntable?

I use a Logic DM101 table with a modded RB300 and Grado Reference cartridge with great results. My understanding is that this table was designed to compete with the Linn but got poor reviews and never went anywhere. I stumbled upon this thing cheap and thought it might be worth a listen. After cleaning the motor, changing the bearing oil and switching the lose crappy springs to more rigid ones (similar to the Linn Trampoline upgrade I suppose) I mounted my arm and cartridge.

The result was just fantastic far better than I had hoped for. It easily surpassed my Rega2 with motor upgrade I was pleased indeed. I've since sold my Rega and actually made a profit on my source!! Imagine that an audio nut who made money at this insanely expensive hobby go figure!!

Seeing how this thing sounds so good and owes me nothing I have no plans to get rid of it. I suspect the motor and power supply is the Logic's weak point and I am planning to get the motor thrust bearing and platter ring clamp upgrade available on ebay soon which should enhance things further.

I've had great results and fun with this table is anyone else using one? What have your experiences been? It's really hard to find info on this thing.

i had my logic dm101 for about 10 years. the construction is a nice design, if you have the second edition with the centre spring. i loved it for its stability, even in old flats with woodfloors you could dance without to get the needle jumping. When i bought it, the main bearing was in bad shape, the Nylon sleeves where turned out, the table moved up and down, it whent to repair, and then it was playing to spec.
Soundwise, it presents a good bassperformance, lovely and airy mids, shows its talent to new "highend" records but more interesting: has a frendly mood to old, even scratched records, it seems that the Deck has a great musical care, noise and faults stay beside, even old and noisy records stay charming.
