Question for GEM Dandy Polytable owners...

Hi

Looking for more information due to the lack of reviews on the web.

For those that either own or have auditioned a Polytable/Jelco, what have you compared it to or what did this turntable replace? Do you feel it performs well beyond the price like manufacturer states? What other tables does it compare favorably too, and how would you describe its sonic signature?

Also since I'm a print subscriber, which Stereophile was it reviewed in? This will save me time searching for it.
Thanks!

Yup, very curious how the new Super 12 holds up with a WT Amadeus MKII or RP8, etc.

Sadly, I doubt anyone having experience with higher priced tables now has GEM Dandy.

We shall see.

I like both the WT Amadeus, and GTA quite a bit. I’ve owned both, and still own the latter. Neither a mk II btw. I’m also looking for a table, both as an upgrade to the GTA, while also keeping my eyes open for something to run in a second system with Croft and Harbeth. The GEM 12" has indeed caught my attention. IMHO, you are on the right track with the GEM, or the WTL for that matter.

It was reviewed in Stereophile August 2016!

Thanks, yogiboy. I was able to find that issue. Only problems Fremer had with the Polytable was a slight lack in bass extension, and the fact that it runs slightly fast. And that was without the GEM power supply which sounds like a must have.
