Leeway Posted October 2, 2004 Report Posted October 2, 2004 Thanks for the site. Some drool-inducing vinyl gear Quote
Guest Chaney Posted October 5, 2004 Report Posted October 5, 2004 Nice link. Thanks! Just when I think I've shaken the urge to buy a turntable I'm sucked back in. B-) Of course, if I had any brains, I'd stop dreaming about owning an expensive rig and simply get something affordable and perfectly nice. Quote

wolff Posted October 6, 2004 Report Posted October 6, 2004 I'm in love with these.....turntables. Was ready to buy a slightly used one(245), but deal fell through. Quote

What do you especially like about these TTs? I'm also interested, nore generally, in how one compares the audio quality of TTs. What do you look for when buying a TT? Quote

What do you especially like about these TTs? I'm also interested, nore generally, in how one compares the audio quality of TTs. What do you look for when buying a TT? I like the whole package. Great looks, great sound and construction/machining. Nice smallish footprint. The weight is another matter. Great upgrade path. Top notch motor and bearings. Compare these to others in their price range. Comparing audio quality is easy if you can live with the tt for a while. Which one plays the music in a natural, relaxed manner with good dynamics. Which one sucks you into the music. Black backgounds, weight and air around instruments are cool. Some tt sound light weight, some too heavy, some sluggish, some miss much of what's in the grooves. I could go on, but in the end it's which sounds closest to real music. It's really not complicated if you can compare for extended periods. Quote
Clunky Posted October 7, 2004 Report Posted October 7, 2004 agree with Wolff , never have I learnt a thing from a five minute demo of some hi-fi equipment. Live with it for a while , then remove it and go back to what you had a see then what's missing. Works for me. Quote
Leeway Posted October 7, 2004 Report Posted October 7, 2004 Getting a chance to live with the TT a while can be one problem. Also, it seems to me to that the cartridge plays a big-maybe crucial-- role in TT performance, and so, wouldn't it be quite possible that two people with the same TT but different cartidges, are going to report different sonic results? How does one factor into the equation the role and performance of the cartidge (which is, typically, an add-on from a different manufacturer?). Quote
wolff Posted October 8, 2004 Report Posted October 8, 2004 (edited) Yes, finding tt's to try out can be hard. Regarding cartridges, just use the same one. Sure it's a pain, but if you are shopping for 2k+ tt's it's worth the effort. Here is another suggestion. Find an audiophile club in your area. They bring in different pieces of gear each meeting. Sometimes turntables get a turn. Edited October 8, 2004 by wolff Quote
Shrdlu Posted October 8, 2004 Report Posted October 8, 2004 A ways from being aestethically pleasing... Looks like the opening of "Back To The Future I"! All it needs is dog food all over the floor and a cat clock with moving eyes. As Michael Flanders said, "People go to an awful amount of trouble to get the sound of an orchestra playing in their living room. There's nothing I would hate more than to have an orchestra actually playing in my living room." Quote
