Hi All, After a second and more successful build I still didn't like the looks. So.... It is now not a Drega, but a Rocket. It looks like stone and weighs as much as well. I would guess close to 30 pounds. The arm is a Rega and it is currently using an OM30 cartridge. Very clean sounding overall and well worth the effort. The only thing that may be an issue is that it seems slightly more sensitive to picking up shelf bumps. The Dual 701 motor assembly makes this a fairly easy project and Rega arms are nearly plug and play. The second photo is how the system looks today (tomorrow it will be different.
