Money well spent

Its a website regarding the trans fi table  
gik did a great job for me 
but this thread was about a cartridge turntable thoughts lol

I read it all dentdog very interesting 

oleschool-
assuming your speaker setup/room is optimal, considering a serious cart without appropriate next level phono stage may be 
shortchanging your final choice in carts. 

My experience going from a good 1K level phono SS, to a $2500 tubed was profound. Naturally subjective, all tube just seems most realistic. I'm know SS at the same level is amazing,(and quieter) I prefer tubes.

Ya i hear ya . I have had amazing tube setups over the yrs .. I cant get that dam vac 110 out of my dreams lol ... It has an inboard 4 tube stage its bitchin for the bucks . I just have to many hobbies lol and my 20 mnth old daughter doesnt leave tons if listening time latley... I find myself playing my piano for her more or guitars for her : )

I have used the Transfi arm for 5 years (originally on a Michell Gyro) and the Salvation TT for 3 years. I have implemented all the modifications Vic has offered to arm and table. I will never replace the Terminator/Salvation combo my only caveat is that I am 63 years old. I think it is one of the best values in this crazy hobby. It is very straight forward to set up (really benefits from careful set up). It offers many DIY tweaking opportunities, ala Darklatern but Vic is the best tweaker so I leave it to him. Find someone close and see and listen to it. Good Luck
