Immedia RPM 2 vs Clear Audio Emotion cmb

Hi everyone. So I have a chance to pick up a Immedia RPM 2 table with the upgraded arm board and rpm 2 uni pivot tonearm, how would this table compare to something modern like a clearaudio emotion cmb with a satisfy tonearm ? I can basically get the Immedia for trade, but I am worried about its age. Thanks for any advice you could give me, Chris

I think when Allen Perkins designed and voiced the RPM table and arm, he probably used Lyra carts (he was / is the Lyra distributor). They work particularly well on that table / arm combo.

One point of caution. Make sure the platter is lifted slightly and supported before moving it around. IIRC, the bearing can be damaged.

Thanks for the heads up when moving the table, I am going out to Audio research corp on Tuesday to listen to the same table and ARC gear , it should be fun , all though I dont know what cart they are using right now. It should still give me a good idea how this table will sound overall.

The Emmedia rpm2 at ARC sounded awesome, cant wait to get one in my home, should give me many hours of listening fun.
