Great thing about bank holiday weekends is that you have more time to work on your projects! At least I had this time round.<\/p>\n

After doing the initial calibration to the Lenco idler mechanism, I got the turntable finally assembled on the new plinth. It runs very quiet and smoothly despite having not dampened the idler wheeler \u00a0as recommended in the Lenco Heaven forum. I need to look into it but so far the turntable runs really quiet.<\/p>\n

The arm board is a bit lower than it needs to probably. I can adjust the VTA with the micrometer but I should look at raising it to allow the arm to be rotated to the right for best placement. The micrometer is preventing this to happen. Will refine later.<\/p>\n

Ok, impressions so far after all this work then. I did many upgrades this time to my system so it is hard to quantify which part contributed the most to the sound improvement. Overall tone and clarity has improved. I suppose that the heavy plinth makes a big difference to the bass clarity. The overall tone improvement and detail is quite likely to be the Audiomods tone arm as well as using the Clearaudio Virtuoso Wood MM<\/a>\u00a0cartridge that Tony kindly give me to try.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
