Really nice.What kind of voltage are you feeding it with the variac ?
And just for comparison, what kind of voltage is your mains giving you to start with ?I know you're just getting adjusted here, but I wonder if you'll be finding that you'll have a daytime-voltage setting and then one for late at night ...... ?

Mains voltage is 117v. Right now the variac is set at 104v. Below that point the platter starts to slow. By adjusting the eddy brake you can bring the speed back up. Below 92v the life just drops out of the music. So I need to do experimentation to find the sweet spot between 92v and 104v. I will probably wait until I get an Imbabi power supply before I make a final judgement.We live in a area where the power supply is very good. No voltage sag during the day and very little contamination on the lines either day or night. We have lived in our house for over 13 years and most of the light bulbs and fluourescent bulbs were in the house when we bought it. An EE said that the bulbs last so long because there are no spikes or surges in our power.
I use the light bulb trick on my 301 to lower the voltage just enough so I get proper speed, and no more - don't want to lose all that torque ;-)
