Really nice turntables you have there! I really like the rugged look of the 301 and 401, and that will probably be the way for me too. I have also considered the Acoustand classic plinth, which is the same principle as the original SME plinth for 401, but a bit more rugged and heavier.

I'm really happy for you, but I'm pretty angry with Alfred. I ordered and paid in October. Exactly the same arm that you now have.
@alfredbokrand do you understand why I'm frustrated?
