Title : A Monophile's Delight

My 401 is set in 40mm solid maple resting on 3" hardwood cones. Table is
solid birch from Ikea. At the back an
ex-broadcast studio Gray Research 108 oil-damped tonearm equipped with a GE
VRII "Triple-Play" cartridge.
To the side a Series 1 SME 3012 with Goldring 600 variable reluctance
cartridge in an Orsonic AV-1S headshell occupying the position usually taken by
the Ortofon SPU Mono. The Ortofon is beautiful and gracious but the variable
reluctance carts are....feisty!

old configuration:

 | Garrard 401 in a solid maple plinth supported by 3 long hardwood cones on
solid birch Ikea table. Carpeted concrete floor, no spikes. |
 | Denon DL-103-R / Orsonic AV-1b / SME 3012 Series 2 with heavy brass
counterweight. |
 | Denon DL-102 / Orsonic AV-1s / SME 3012 Series 1 and bronze spacer. |
 | The Garrard 401 is fed a filtered mains current via a variable transformer |
