Now, the main source is from this turntable which was bought used from a Singaporean. The TT is equipped with its own outboard power supply unit which outputs 12VAC (frequency adjustable) and preset at 2 speeds 45 & 33.3 rpm. It replaces the Linn LP12/Ittok LVII that has been around since 1980 and still performing well.
A Boston Audio Mat-1 solid graphite platter mat replaces the stock felt mat.
The tonearm is a unipivot Kuzma Stogi S bought from a friend in Penang. Cartridge options : Denon DL103R and Benz Micro 20E2L both moving coils. Phonostage is Japanese made Softone Model 4 which uses built-in step up transformers for MC inputs and 2 Sovtek 12AX7LPS tubes for amplification. The stock tubes have been replaced with NOS Mullard M8137s (CV4004). More on these later ....
This Boston Audio Mat 1 is 3mm thick solid graphite mat coated with special clear paint. It is relatively heavy and replaces the stock felt mat of the turntable. Records played with it underneath sounds clearer and cleaner. Sometimes I prefer it with and at times without the Michell record clamp.
