OMA or Jean Natais Lenco rebuild

Hi Everyone - I'm looking for feedback regarding OMA and/or Jean Natais Lenco 75 rebuilds. I would love to hear from users or either or both and may have switched from one to the other. Whatever intellegence you can provide regarding sonics, build quality, etc. along with tonearm and cartridge recommendations would be greatly appreciated. I look forward to your timely responses.

Thanks much - Rich

FWIW Peter owns one of the first OMA slate Lencos. Jonathan uses his PTP plate.
He really likes this table and says they are more similar than different. But he states "the biggest difference is Corian has a naturalness and timbre that slate cannot match. Next to the Corian table the slate sounds slower and harsher".

We are in the process of launching a new website, which will no longer show plinth options for Lencos, but I thought it would be useful to comment in this thread that OMA no longer supports any Lenco PTP's with slate plinths.

We now only offer the OMA Anatase turntable, using the Lenco motor and platter, the other parts being made by OMA.

I would buy from Jean Natais or OMA since they are located in North America.

A nice writeup by Art Dudley in Stereophile about the PTP table. He does have some really silly nitpicks, but I think he gets the gist of this wonderful table.
I have lived with the PTP Solid 12 for 2 months now and could not be happier.
If you are like me and don't want to rebuild your own Lenco then do yourself a favor and get this table!
