New year resolution to finish this project, been slowly sourcing components from ebay to build this.
What's your 2021 "Gear" resolution?

Come on man, flex on this and spill the beans. I see Ekos and a DV Te Kaitora Rua. What's the PSU, bearing and sub chassis fitment? Is this replacing the Gyro or augmenting it?

At the moment there is a Hercules 2 power supply .Cirkus bearing, Keel Sub chassis and Tangerine Audio Karmen Top plate.
Plan is to build a system around this but still keep the Gyro

Maybe 2021 will be the year I spring for a modern turntable. I have had my eye on a Clearaudio Concept Wood w/Black Satisfy Tonearm and Maestro II cart, but my longstanding affair with a Dual 1219 (with Thorens 125 II e/ SME 2009 II non-improved tone arm and/or Thorens TD 160 with Rega tone arm from Vinyl Nirvana as backups) has made it difficult for me to devote the necessary energy to the rationalization required to spend over $3K!! But maybe...

@Joe Mac I don’t think a lot of people will be following me here. The initial investment is rough, but rebuilds are $299.

Yeah that’s a cart that I’m definitely slightly envious of! It’s one of those ones on my theoretical wish list for the distant future if I ever need to get a better table...
I need to go to the store and buy some Blu Tack for stylus cleaning. The documentation specifically says no on Zerodust, and only to use 70% Isopropyl Alcohol (or stronger) if the Blu Tack doesn’t work.

Honestly, I’ve used my ZeroDust with no problem. In this case I feel like Mr Ledermann is being excessively particular.
That said, I will report back if my diamond comes off.
Very excited to hear your feedback!

Looks like I’m going forward on this. Getting a good deal locally on a demo with just a couple of hours on it (which is very easy to believe because this guy sells mostly stuff that’s in a much higher price category), with dust cover. I’ve put off the pick-up until next week just to allow myself the illusion of having any ability at all for delaying gratification
