Lewm - just to be clear
I use to listen to an SP10mk3 just about every night for about 3-4 years back in the early 80's - purchased NZ new, Technics EPA100mk2, and various cartridges bog standard and immaculately maintained by a precision engineer, fully qualified, who owned the largest die cutting machine in Australasia.
Over the last 40 years I've heard it in multiple systems with different arms along with multiple L07D's and many Sp10mk2's which are more common.
The last SP10mk3 I have listened to at length was fully updated with Krebs mods, Porter plinth, SME V12 & Ikeda 407 mounted.
With regard to the servo system I cant understand why you cannot conceptualise that advances in motor controller technology might improve the SP10mk3 significantly. Are you still using the computer you purchased in 1978, if indeed you had one.
As far as vintage audio goes, rare items are now like vintage cars - if you modifiy them chances are you diminish the value. Do you not think that folk who are interested in modding their equipment should be fully informed when making their decision. All I did was point to the website of the modifier, I did not make any subjective statements on the quality of the work or efficacy.
The modifier in question on his website states that the mods are not reversible, and if any breakages occur in the modification process, the modifier eschews any legal responsibility due to the age of the equipment.
