OMA or Jean Natais Lenco rebuild

2500 Euros = $3250. Does that include the starter turntable, or is that the price for work done to a unit that must be supplied by the buyer? If the latter, I am not sure the price difference between the PTP table and the other two options posed by the OP is that big a deal. However, I agree with you that Peter Reinders is a first rate guy who has done much to improve the performance of the Lenco L75. Scuttlebutt was that Corian is not so great as plinth material, but I would re-think that proposition, if Peter is using it. It must therefore have some merit. I use his PTP top plate in the context of a home-made slate plinth. In addition, I replaced the Lenco bearing with a "Jeremy" Superbearing, and I took measures to dampen the platter. The total result is most satisfying. I don't know what Jean is charging these days, but the OMA plinth, if you already have an L75 would seem to be on a par with the PTP, in terms of cost, or maybe even cheaper. It would then depend upon what else Peter is doing for his total price (and on what Corian sounds like as a plinth). I can only say that slate works very well with the Lenco idler.

I don't recall how long I waited for Jeremy, but it was more like a year or less. On the other hand, the wait was worth it. I believe it makes a big difference. Takes quite a while to break in, but sounds good from the get-go. But when it's really rolling along, the turntable sound becomes very open and airy. What I want. During early break-in, the bearing housing gets warm to the touch after 10-12 hours of use, and you have to change the lubricant frequently. When that stops happening, the benefits of the bearing become most evident.
