Ronny,

I found is a bit strange that you decided to use the left front leg instead of the right front leg for mounting the third SME tonearm.  If any reason why did you do it? I always thought that left front leg is the least conformable leg as the cartridge covers the point where a needle nits the record and it make it very uncomfortable to use.  When the third tonearm is mounted on the right front leg then I found it very comfy. Not to mention that the gap between the motor and platter will become very narrow and the standard 35 belt might be used. The fewer gaps take smaller footprint. One more thing: if you use some very noise-fertile cartridges then the left front leg location might be too ‘live” for them.
