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.
I just set up my new Well Tempered Amadeus and the rave reviews would seem to be warranted for this pricepoint and perhaps above. As I am an a self professed vinyl newbie after saying goodbye to the shiny black format in the 80's. Starting a new collection of records starting now! LOL I did have some issues getting the tonearm dialed in during setup that were due more to my excitement and inexperience than due to any problem with the instructions and even with my rather pedestrian Shelter(?) 201 cartridge the turntable is just lovely to listen to. If you can get past the whole golf ball thing and listen ..... very satisfying. I cannot wait to be able to mount a nicer cartridge that will hopefully bring this turntable to the next level.
Lovin' this deck more and more. Wait until I can get some new records (used). The golf ball still confounds me but when I listen I am pleased. How are others setting theirs up as far as tonearm setup. I have messed with damping both up and down have noticed improvement in bass with a little more of the golf ball submerged, thoughts? Advice? Cheers..
