Audiomods Classic 2 tonearm based around the RB251 armtube, with Cardas copper from the cartridge tags to the RCAs. Absolutely brilliant variation on the Rega tonearm design approach, completely re-constructed by Jeff Spall of Audiomods. Mounted on the Origin Live Rega armboard.Pickering XV-15 cartridge and brand new Pickering D625 3 x 7 mil elliptical stylus from Vickers HiFi. Sound Damped Steel Isoplat mat on the platter, topped with a new Herbie's Audio Lab Way Excellent II mat. The SDS mat is a true constrained damping approach to effectively canceling any ringing from the SL-1200 platter. New feet & fader. Some scratches and swirls on the dust cover, but overall very presentable. I'd give the deck itself (not counting the dustcover) an 8 or a 9. $895 + shipping & PP fee. Tonearm includes original wooden case and instructions, extra counterweight shims, allen wrench.
