Here's the conclusion of the TD-124 two tonearm fitting project I've been working on.
The Audio Technical 12" ATP12T tonearm is a beauty - the hardwood armpod puts the spindle to pivot at the perfect 242mm distance.
It's also easy to use with the arm lift and arm rest plate that I fabricated.
I've also made an ebony armboard for to fit a Fidelity Research FR24 10" tonearm to the deck.
The plinth was gloss white and as requested I've painted and lacquered it to a matt dark grey.
I then set up both arms and tested them with my SPUs - A Royal N and Silver Meister and had a listen to check all was perfect.
I also made an extra Ebony armboard blank if someone needs one
Here are some pics
Keen SPU'ists will note that the AT arm really needs a heavier counterweight for SPU's - I'm not sure what cart will be used yet - Magna Audio of course specialise in customer counter weights to suit all arms.
The FR24 arm could probably do with a heavier antiskate weight too
