New Townshend Rock 7 owner

The Townshend is in transit to it's new home. I purchased this one-owner table as a package, complete w/ Funk Firm FXR ll arm, dc motor upgrade, Discovery Balanced phono cable and Brinkman PI cartridge. It come with all original boxes, manuals.

If all goes well, I should be able to get it up and running with one exception, my phono stage is not balanced. Since the original owner bought this from a respected dealer as a package, I think my best route would be to get a pair of RCA to XLR adapters in order to hear the package as close as possible as was intended.

Any thoughts on that aspect? What brand adapters would be recommended? Also, any thing I might need to know from experienced users to help with set-up? Thanks.

@parrotbee ,

Thanks so much for your post. I haven't read through this thread in a while, but I seem to remember a lot of what you just reminded us all of. Your research is to be appreciated my friend. I hope that I can find the time/motivation to do the same. I need to do a simple test...take my motor out of it's pod and discover exactly what motor it really is.

FWIW & BTW, I have a Moerch DP-8 w/ Nordost Vahallia  tonearm cable waiting in the wings.

slawI have purchased the tools that I need to do the work including a small spirit level to help with the leveling of the platter. I have been a little busy to get this project going and I'm waiting for a friend who is going to help with me and they should be coming over in about a week or two.Thanks for the interest if I have any questions I'll let you know and will keep you posted.
