I have an AR "The turntable"( it looks exactly like an ES-1). I have a delrin arm board made by Anthony Scillia, which allows a SME mount Infinity black widow with either ortofon OM 30, or right now, shure V15Vxmr. Delrin is a very dense non resonant substance, which also helps. Interconnect is made from Cardas din plug, Cardas cable, and Cardas rca plugs. I have tweeked the suspension by performing the foam removal and clean up mod suggested on the analog dept web site. I also have an extended stud kit, also from anthony Scillia which allows use of the Linn springs and lower grommets. These are finished off with nice wing nuts with nylock type lockwashers to adjust the springs. And of course, the already mentioned home depot based wall shelf. Soon hope to have new motor & power supply, delrin inner platter with new precision stainless steel shaft, and threaded stub for clamp, as well as acrylic outter platter and lead dampening mat as soon as Anthony has them ready.

Regards, Russellc
