I used to own an Athena, (actually I still have the remains of it stored away) until I designed and built a new body and tonearm for it. And before Bob Dilger dissappeared I acquired the Ariadne arm spindle block, the air bearing sub platters and a 1/2" thick lead plate. Anyway, it was a five year project and it payed off. I call it the Deconstrata named after the deconstructivist school of design and strata for its six 1/2" layers of corian laminated together. It was used by Bluecircle Audio as a front end component for the '97 CES in Las Vegas. If anyone is interested in getting more details or finding out why I undertook this project in the first place feel free to contact me.
