Well Tempered Amadeus


I am curious if anyone has heard this turntable/arm combo? The reviews I have read are practically over the top with praise using terms such as nearly perfect, can't be beat for the price etc... If anyone has heard it, how might it compare to say the Scoutmaster.

Cheers

The reviews are spot-on, can't make any claims of near-perfect :).
It makes the Scoutmaster sound artificial, veiled.
And compared to most tables so far, better, not just different like other product comparisons.
Highly innovative engineering to achieve great sound without a huge price tag.
After 35 yrs of hifi products, my fav so far.
Whats the deal,I can't find any reference to a US distributor. No mention of this table on Stanalog's Well Tempered website. Looks like Firebaugh is back out on his own, What now is the relation to the old Well Tempered products ala Stanalog? I want one!!
If I got this right, you are correct. Stanalog bought the rights for WellTempered from Transparent. The Amadeus is indeed a new launch by Mr. Firebaugh, now distributed by Toffco, and totally seperate from the old line. I believe that was included at the end of the review in the Absolute Sound.
and yes, you should get one!
I got to hear a demo about a week ago. Very good table/arm. Dealer carries both VPI and the well tempered so i will hopefully get to hear some side by side comparisons.
The killer table of the night was the Well tempered table made for Dynavector with the Dynavector arm and new XV-1T cartridge. WOW WOW WOW.
Also heard the new cartridge in the Amadeus also and it was great too. Special table at a special price.
