Where's the next weak link in my analog chain?
Currently using the following:
Mofi Ultradeck w/ MasterTracker cart
- Powered by AQ Thunder power cable
Sutherland 20/20 mk1 with LPS (stock power cable)
- Zu Mission mk1 phono from TT to pre, Zu Mission mk1 from pre to amp
I don't have much left that I think I could do on this end before upgrading the table entirely. I'm curious where you would spend your next dollar?
MC Cart
Phono cable
Interconnect
Power cable to phono
Beyond that I think this set up will be pretty well maxed out and it would be time for a new TT to start squeezing out more.
clarify what is included and what is optional, this SP15 Spinner has specs that rival todays technics models, the base accepts a few different arm wands, one is S arm with removable headshell see current, SP-15 and SP-25 specs in this database I helped my friend install the B500 Base on the SP15 I gave him years ago, it is a wonderful way to have a compact system with flexibility.

get started with an SP-25 in the correct Base SP-25 with arm with removable headshell The cutout fits the B500 Base whenever you find one |
I would not buy an SP-15 ever. The MN6042 speed control chip has been out of production for decades and is a high failure part. At which time, you are harvesting another 50 year old MN6042 out of a parts unit, and hoping it will last, or scrapping it, as many have done. The real issue with this crap shoot is that, should you buy an SP15, it may last indefinitely, and is a worthwhile deck, with the fantastic bonus of a 78 speed, but at any moment it may turn to junk. Just Google SP15 off speed. |
