Well Tempered Amadeus turntable, giant killer?


From all that I have read, it seems to be a giant killer, but no discussion here. I am probably going to buy one as soon as I get back to my main system.

Buda, again I don't understand you. What does, "Norm’s history of pontificating to other Audiogoners on topics that are on the audio fringe at best." mean. I suspect you are talking about my strong feelings about "objectivists' notions of science, which I would agree don't have much to do with audio or science. Apart from that I merely express my experiences with products and never any "pontification." If you can give me an example and you are correct, I will apologize.

Again, you seem in violation of your displeasure with "pontification" with your comments on my being a retired professor and supposedly not allowing questions.
Norm, did you ever try the Amadeus? I've been thinking about getting one to replace my Linn.
Have you listened to the Classic VPI? Before you jump you should listen to this one too.
Haven't heard the VPI Classic, but I moved up from an LP 12 I had owned since 1988, fully updated, to a VPI Scout in 2007 or so... I found the Scout to be better in every way. Similarly, I upgraded to the Amadeus last year. It is just a great turntable, truly hits way above its pricepoint.
I had the Classic 1 and now have an Amadeus. Even though it is a nice table, there's nothing the Classic does better than the Amadeus when it comes to the sound. The only reason there would be to get a Classic over the Amadeus is if you want more of a "standard" design and don't mind the decrease in performance.
