99.99% satisfaction liao
took 3 whole nights to adjust the 3 super irritating suspension springs
getting that well align seriously required a huge demand in patience and energy
somehow i still unable to adjust the platter to the same height level (3cm for 4 angles)
that's why got no choice but to use few iron plates on the armboard to compensate it
somehow i believe this could be due to the weight of the FR arm
anyway is all up and running now!

i love the side view of the arformosia plinth

/ / / a week a go / / /
My downsizing exercise is more or less achieved
Sold most of my beloved decks, Lenco, Thorens, Rega, Kenwood... all gone to a better home
Now left with last 3 decks
The Garrard 401, Thorens TD160 Super (in hibernate mode) and this long asleep LP12
This deck has been long asleep in the original box for 1.5-2years
decided to partner with the Fidelity Research FR-12 arm
lucky to acquired this arm which is pre-mounted to a Linn armboard
interesting arm. very versatile and i particularly like the lateral balance function
interesting arm. very versatile and i particularly like the lateral balance function
original base. before swap to Trampoline
quick look at the chassis
with beautify afromosia plinth and original cover
downloaded and followed the baerwald protractor
checked the mounting distance almost perfect at 215mm
all fixed up but the platter leveling is not optimize
front look with the trampoline base
and the power unit Armageddon
(yah, one speed only)
first mounted with the AT120E and tested
not satisfy. still need much tuning to optimize the deck
will be back...
