I have these documents.

Lenco L75, and I assume other similarly aged Lencos, have thick spindles.

My first TT was a BD1. I bought the kit in Comet in Oxford for £14.99 and coupled it with a Acos Lustre GST-1 tonearm, bought from the same place for £23.10. My eldest brother built a plinth for me. There are several for sale on eBay.

Living in OZ you can take advantage of the Graham Slee loaner scheme through which you could trial several of the products within your system for good amount of time. Join the Graham Slee forum to find out what you need to do.

I’m sorry if it’s not what you meant, but it’s how I read, “Ideally a phono preamp should add nothing to the system it should merely amplifier the signal coming from the cartridge”.

My point is that you appear to suggest that since amplifiers, and phono preamps in particular, do nothing more than amplify a signal, they are all the same. They are not. As for my “usual” recommendation (Graham Slee, for the unaware), it’s largely because having a piece of kit in one’s own...

Rather simplistic!

Have a look at Vinyl Studio. It’s a doddle to use.

Indeed it does.

It looks like my RB301.

That seems to be the case. You may, or may not, find this discussion interesting: https://www.hifisystemcomponents.com/forum/interconnect-bs-vs-science_topic5432_page1.html

What equipment and cables do you have?

Do you by any chance have a TT/tonearm combination with an aerial (unshielded tonearm wires), such as a VPI?

It’s also worth checking out lpgear.com for T4P cartridges.
