Hi Mike, thanks for the compliment, I've been practicing and researching!! "Mr. Red," I like that. I've got all sorts of plans now for various veneers, coloured lacquers, and combinations for the future, this is loads of fun! Yes, that's a Moerch UP-4, which I'm trying out with the Decca Super Gold and various cartridges (sounds great with the Shibui too) for now. A beautiful piece of audio jewelry, and very fast and detailed, with deep, controlled and detailed bass. Again relatively-speaking (in the light of such stellar budget bargains as the Regas and various vintage tonearms), the UP-4 is a bargain, and is useful as tonearm-wands are easy to swap in and out, and come in masses to suit any cartridge made. Perfect critter for a guy like me, with his peculiar cartridge addiction ;-). The fellow who sold it to me assured me it was better than the DP-6 (he thought so anyway), though I have yet to do those comparisons myself. The RS-A1 is a contender for Best Tonearm in the World, but it isn't near so user-friendly or versatile.
Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II
“For those who want the moon but can't afford it or those who can afford it but like to have fun and work with their hands, I'm willing to give out a recipe for a true high-end 'table which is easy to do, and fun to make as sky's the limit on design/creativity! The cost of materials, including 'table, is roughly $200 (depending, more or less), and add to that a Rega tonearm. The results are astonishing. I'll even tell/show you how to make chipboard look like marble and fool and impress all your friends. If there's interest I'll get on with this project, if not, I'll just continue making them in my basement. The next one I make will have a Corian top and have a zebra stripe pattern! Fun! Any takers?”
