Whats on your turntable tonight?

@big_greg,

I like your description of the JVC better than the vinyl engine.

Sounds really cool! Based upon the TT you're selling, I assumed the JVC is superior.

@slaw  The RPM9 is a "better" table, but I never made an emotional connection with it, which probably sounds dumb, but whatever. 

The RPM9 is very similar to my Music Hall MMF 7.1 - same motor, same decoupled design, same tonearm.  The big difference is in the design of the plinth. 

The 7.1 is probably my "best" turntable, either that or my Clearaudio Emotion.  They're both kind of "pedestrian", but with a good cartridge, good isolation, and a good phono pre they both sound great.  

The Kiseki Blue mounted on the JVC and running through the Chinook is currently the best sounding setup in my collection.

@big_greg,

I love the way you described the tt history you have.  What brings one closer to the music, ( IE: a personal connection), is THE goal, IMO.
