@yogiboy - that's a nice little turntable - I like the look of the Orbit plus, which is still very reasonably priced for the included upgrades
Takes me back to 1981 - I payed $225 for my Rega Planar II
Likes:
- the drive belt motor configuration brings platter to speed very quickly
- the mass of the counter weight on the arm is llow - like the Michel techno weight - it improves tracking accuracy and playback
- acrylic platter improves playback clarity
- 30 day return policy
- 2 year warranty
At $289 I'm almost tempted to get one for my spare cartridge to play those old pressings
Not sure I'd go for the built-in pre-amp
- the Pluto Phono amp looks like a better option
- but the Schiit Mani is more flexible for a little extra
Could it be a Goliath slayer? - Time will tell
Have you heard them?
Thanks for sharing
