Well Tempered Labs Record Player, thoughts on a used one?

@sdv0983  Actually the 'WTA' Black arm is considerably different from the standard silver arm. The Silver arm ( stock) does not feature the one piece arm/headshell of the Black version- and has different tonearm cabling.

My largest concern is the tonearm and setup of same, I mean just the idea of hanging it from a bit of fishing line?

Maybe if I get my head round it I might try but definitely on the fence right now.

Uber,

I have the WT Amadeus Mk.II, and love this tt. I realize the tonearm with its support doesn't look like much. This support, (fish line and golf ball sphere suspended in a cup of silicone) does a better job than most other turntable's expensive bearings. This type of arm suspension makes azimuth alignment a breeze, as it can be done on the fly. This tables' setup is quite easy once you understand how it functions. A very deceptive looking turntable that can compete with tables' three times its price. IMO. The platter spindle has only three tiny contact points in the platter bearing reducing resonances to vanishingly low levels. All in all, a good choice. Lots of reviews and material printed about this TT.

@mr_m 

Thank you for the input.

The one I am looking at has the paddle in silicon not the golf ball.

But I would think the family sound is the same and set up very similar.

Just getting my mindset wrapped around the whole idea and concept after knowing nothing but conventional designs.

Mind some would say my present Nottingham TT is odd when you have to spin the platter up to speed by hand as motor is very low torque. 

Might be a very interesting comparison.

I replaced a Spacedeck with the original Amadeus. I can say that the WT made the Nott sound broken.......
