I've been a "lurker" on the monster thread for almost two years. I started out with a Technics SP10 MKII that repalced my VPI Jr and RB300 combo. The Technics was in a McCurdy Stand (200LBs+) and beat my remaining belt drives easily (Ariston RD11S and Thorens TD125 MKI). This was about the time I ran into Jean Nantais at the Record Center here in Ottawa. And when I started on the road to Audio Recovery.
He helped me build a Monster plinth for the SP10 and we mounted a variety of arms on it with the swap-able arm board system. An RB250 Incognito wired, a Mayware IV with Jean's special treatment of Cardas and Music Boys. And Now an SME 3012 MK II. The plinth was the MDF and Birch ply recipe and the Results were the best TT i'd ever had.
Here is a pic of the SP10 in the massive plinth.

It was around this time I finally got a chance to hear the Lenco at Jean's house,within a few weeks I had the L75 completed and ready to go,This time I used a Grado Signature Reference (Which replaced my SME series IV) And my trusty Grado Platinum.
What can I say that has not been said about a thousand times on the thread. It was without a doubt the best analog front end I'd had in my house in 25 years of being in this hobby.
With Jean's help I've tweaked the Lenco and I am just in the process of breaking in a new Denon DL103, Right out of the box it is an audio wounder. I just cranked the VTF to abit under 2.5 grams and it is now perfect (Thanks Rami).

Now to answer the question, Here is a picture of my former top dog Turntable, An Oracle Delphi MKIV on a Target wall stand with a rewired Rega tonearm. For the last 4 months it has served a record sleeve holder (A beautiful Record sleeve holder).

There, I've gone on long enough
