Pro-ject has a new turntable by the way with the speed-box SE built in. It is called the Pro-ject Xtension.

Wow, that looks great. It's one of the few TT that makes me want to cheat on mine ... I love wooden plinths.

Alberto,

I listened to it at the last High End meeting in Paris.
It does not only look good : it sounds wonderful !

Which arm, and what cartridge were they running? I'll bet it is gorgeous in person.

Great looking TD125. I have a stock armless TD125MkII I want to refurb and add a arm too, just can't decide which way to go. BTW I sold my TD125MKII with the stock TP16MkI arm, because the RM5SE bested it in my estimate and the Blackbird was a tough install on the TP60 head shell. I really felt the arm was the limitation of that table, hence I found a pristine one with out the arm.
