Turntable for life

Perhaps a VPI Avenger w/Mag-Lev drive and three choice tonearms, one for a mono cart, one for a stereo cart, and one for demo. Canned Mandarin Orange Slices in Water as footers are a must as well...

happy listening! Kāixīn tīng

I have used a Nottingham Analogue Mentor since 1996. Recently I upgraded the plinth, the motor, and power supply, and the tonearm to a Trans-Fi air bearing. It does sound very good indeed - the modern equivalent is the NA Dais (with the same bearing and electrics).

anyone have long term experience with a well-tempered?  always liked the demos i've heard albeit not the most attractive deck.

Terry9, did you have a chance to listen to Anna Log? I did not. It's quite rare.

If you can muster $30K maybe another $10G's wouldn't be that big of a stretch.

A knowledgable friend returned from the Rocky Mountain Fest extremely impressed by the Helix 1 but wondered how his Kazuma 4 Point might sound with it. Cartridge and turntable development has progressed a great deal in the recent past and well worth looking into.
