Hi Romy,

I think it is a 3000.  The other platter/base seems (from the ebay advert) to be home-made with a 16" diameter.

I presume he was attempting to do something similar to you although I can see how, if the base of the 3000 is too light, it might cause problems.

Your first law of upgrading usually seems to be "identify what dissatisfies you in your playback before you try to change things" or something like that. Very sensible advice. What is it about the sound of your existing TT that prompts you to want to change it?  Do you perceive some lack of stability, constancy, perhaps some tonal aberration or is it just its performance compared with your FM that has brought on this urge for improvement?

best regards,

Guy
