Who has been honest, who has helped you, who deserves to be praised (not me please I get enough), be they hi-fi forum member, ebay member, or even retailer (some chance
), or manufacturer.

Savvy here. For convincing me that streamers are not foo and do make a difference. The sound from my system has improved a lot as a result.

+1 for Alfi - got to "know" him as a result of buying a plattamat years ago.
I think that first and foremost he is an enthusiast, who happens to make a few products in a genuine interest in improving the LP12.

With Alfi, I can't help thinking that he would be capable of designing and selling a turntable from scratch that would out-perform anything originally "designed" by Hamish Robertson.
But then maybe his ambitions don't lie in that area? Which would be fair enough.
Edit: put designed in "'s - as quite rightly pointed out by DSJR below.

Hamish basically 'stole' the LP12 concept from Thorens (layout, spring positions, platter diameters give or take a thou or two, motor position etc.) so I'd have no guilt on that score. Amazing how basically decent a TD150 can sound (pitch aside) when mounted in an old Linn plinth, allowing for different arm-board width...
