Thanks for the link, like other contributors on the forum I am impressed with your skills/ideas.
What happened to the deck? I take it you gave up on it, as you now have an LP12 - was it an improvement on the rega?
The reason I ask is that I have a very old planar 2 in the loft, which I have often wondered about "playing" with (can't bring myself to sell it - sentimental reasons, my first "hi fi" purchase).
Sorry just realised that I am diverting the topic here, will try to keep on topic!
regards, Guy
Guy, I have two systems
I have not given up at all on the deck I built, I still use it, mainly to spin second vinyl on. I realise we are of topic, so maybe join Vinyl Engine? If I get time I'll update the thread on VE.

Wenge plinth, and the most recent incarnation of the wall shelf! I like this shelf a lot..

I like that support/shelf. Is that a glass shelf?
RE: Woodsong Plinths - Chris H - 2011-10-14 15:50
Yes it is a glass shelf. The same thickness and bevel as Fraim glass.

Chris,
Great shelf, what is it?

RE: Woodsong Plinths - Chris H - 2011-10-14 18:58
It is still unnamed.. almost ready for release.
RE: Woodsong Plinths - SaltyDog - 2011-10-14 19:34
Will the shelves come finished to match plinths?

I just wish to pass on my thanks to Chris Harban of Woodsong Audio and Peter Swain of Cymbiosis for creating and installing a fluted walnut plinth to my LP12.
I met them both at the Whittlebury Show and am hugely impressed with their craftsmanship and friendly warmth.
I have had my deck since about 1995 and over the years it has had various upgrades but the plinth had started to look a little tired in places – when Chris showed me the fluted walnut (my preferred finish) I jumped at the chance and fixed up a session with Peter to install it.
Clearly a very comprehensive and well run premises in Leicester, Peter invested time discussing and demonstrating the various options available to help maximise value and satisfaction.
About 3 hours later my deck had been rejuvenated with the plinth, Trampolin Mk2 and a new DV-20X2. I had also considered a new top plate but have put this off for the moment as I Khan do better when funds allow…
Watching Peter working away whilst chatting and listening to music in the background was a real pleasure. His obvioius competence and attention to detail – explained every step along the way – was fascinating indeed.
So, again – many thanks to Peter and his staff but also to Chris whose workmanship is an absolute joy.
Oh… and it all sounds fabulous and the picture does not do it justice!

I like that walnut fluted. Almost as good as mine
Have you thought about putting shrink wrap on that ARO arm rest (although I'm sure you discussed that with Peter)?

Almost as good... on the other hand Mr Harban makes exceedingly good plinths...
Shrink wrap on the arm rest is only required on Keel'd decks which mine isn't
