My 401 is set in 40mm solid maple resting on 3" hardwood cones. Table
is solid birch from Ikea. At the back an ex-broadcast studio Gray
Research 108 oil-damped tonearm equipped with a GE VRII "Triple-Play"
cartridge.
To the side a Series 1 SME 3012 with Goldring 600
variable reluctance cartridge in an Orsonic AV-1S headshell occupying
the position usually taken by the Ortofon SPU Mono. The Ortofon is
beautiful and gracious but the variable reluctance carts are....feisty!
