Understated, elegant setup of the Td124II with Sme 3009
Follow Ups:
I like it. It's clean, simple and matches the design of the TD124 very well. The only thing is I wonder if a plinth that small can be heavy enough to soak up the vibes?
Can't tell if the plinth is veneer over mdf or if it is done in solid hardwoods, but the shape of it goes back to what was often seen 'in the day'. The tonearm almost appears to be the type 2 Improved variety of SME. I wonder why we don't see more folks using the later and better SME IV and V series of tonearms on these resurected Swiss built turntables. (Then it hits me, $$cost$$)One of these days, before the going price gets too much higher, I've gotta get my hands on one of these.
Hi Steve,Think you're right... In fact the 3009/10/12 series of Sme arms is actually kind of the equivalent of the 124's..... old-school, heavy-duty, machined-for-real rather than mass-produced, and (up till recently anyway) priced without all the 'highend' penalties.....
Whatever Franco-Japanese kitchen cooked up the general recipe ....
Idler/TwelveInch-KnifeEdge, supporting MC/Tranny/Tubes, into more Tubes/Trannies, then Full-Freq-Hi-Efficiency loudspeakers..........
... wasn't just blowing smoke outta there....
They were Awake before they Baked.
That's all the (cough) metaphorescence I've got time for.

((ps looks to me, given the orig context, anyway, that it's a hardwoods solid plinth ))
