And I greatly appreciate your input.
The phono stage I build is certainly not a 'business'. I sell a few each year and my sell-price is based on parts cost + A$10 an hour for my labour (so it's by no means a 'profit maker')!
As such, it outclasses in SQ, phono stages up to 5 or 6x the price. I actually have a customer in SoCal, if you're interested in hearing it. :-))
I certainly agree with you that "once the needle hits the record even the quietest vinyl will create more noise than from the electronics". However, achieving a lower noise floor is my current "windmill tilt" ... I want to achieve as low a noise-floor as my backup phono stage has (a Hagerman 'Euphonia').
Fascinating that you found a reference to my 'SkeletaLinn'. It gets gradually improved, as time advances - and someone has just built one in the UK; he reckons it already outclasses his LP12 ... and he's still got more tweaking to go. :-))
The Supatrac Blackbird seems to be a great tonearm; if I didn't already have my 12" 'Univector' (UP) - which was the reason I designed my 'SkeletaLinn' - I would probably get one, too. Unfortunately, the designer/builder of the Univector died about 5 years ago ... so they are no longer available.
Here's a pic of the current state of the SkeletaLinn' - on its recently installed air isolation platform:
The 12" Univector is at the front; a Magnepan 'Unitrac' (also a UP) is at the back right. Current chassis is made of a Panzerholtz-like ply ... which you may know Linn recently used for their new plinth.
