Just posted a pic of my newest Lenco - a rebuild of my Lenco #1 with a Trans-Fi Terminator arm. All I did was add another layer of MDF on the bottom and beveled the top edge a la Francois. Its refinished it in clear shellac and wax.
I was exited by the review of the Trans-Fi Terminator on Enyoy the Music. Aside from the real world price, my rationale for getting one has a lot to do with the going prices of vintage tonearms. Why bid on one of those elderly, possibly worn-out arms when something that is potentially better than ALL arms (up to a price) is available? Even after only a very few hours, it sounds at least as good as any tonearm I have - that includes 12" VPI and SME. And I havent even tried any MC's yet.
It's still early days, but I am not sure I have heard bass like this out of any tonearm. Just to be clear, my system is a little bass heavy - the last thing I would want is more wooly upper and mid bass. As a matter of fact, I was a little worried about this after reading he review but this is clear, low, articulate bass that does not interfere with the other registers.
