The guy that worked on the mechanicals of this table called it the "Holy Grail" it is in such pristine shape! Here is a Technics SP-10 that has a Baltic birch/MDF sub plinth with beautiful tiger maple over that... it is quite massive and everyone knows how musical curly maple is as it is used on lots of different musical instruments. The SP-10 is considered the finest example of direct drive turntables ever made... this one is in exceptional condition, there is only on small mark that was filled in with clear varnish, wet sanded and buffed so it is hardly noticeable.
I have had this table in my possession for over a year waiting for the perfect arm to compliment it and an inspiration on how to make the plinth give it justice; this is it. The Clearaudio Inspire arm with the silver tone carbon fiber wand has been raved about by the reviewers and the look matches this table perfectly. The tonearm has tip to tip Clearaudio wiring and has been cryo treated to increase performance.
YES, that is the original plastic protector on the original pristine dustcover!!! That is the kind of shape this table is in. The armboard is solid ebony with violin varnish on it. The plinth was treated with modified linseed oil and then two coats of violin varnish. The varnish is said to tune the wood and make it even more musical. The top of the deck is covered with tough, easy to take care of Formica. The underside of the SP-10 has damping materials on it, they are easy to remove if you ever want it back in original condition, but I wouldn't as they add to the performance of this wonderful turntable. Even the bottom of the table has been given the utmost attention, it is pegboard to keep everything cool... but the top of it has been painted with our special paint that has carbon and copper to keep EMI/RFI at a minimum, there is also aluminum tape to add extra shielding- the side that faces the bottom that you may see is painted with a vinyl paint that reduces vibration.
The table comes with an extra blank maple armboard that has been painted black in case you ever want to try a different arm. It has adjustable spike feet that color match the top, they have matching protectors if you don't want them digging into your furniture. The back piece on the plinth is aspen wood, it matches the maple with the stain and varnish but is hidden by the dustcover. Let us know if you want our usual special damping treatment applied to the dustcover to control resonance visit our web site at cryo-parts.com to see some of the turntables with this mod.
RoyLCraft went through the table and did any mechanical fixing that needed to be done, mechanically it is in as good of shape as it looks.
The table does not come with a cartridge but if you are interested in any of our cryo treated cartridges you can get 15% off when you purchase a turntable from us.
This table is less expensive on our web site as Audiogon charges a commission.
I have included many photos of this beautiful turntable - the red circle in one shows the only flaw, the one I mentioned above.
