Choose between Simon Yorke S9 or transroto Zet1

Inna,

Thanks for your suggestion. I will check out the Brinkmann as well. However, all the turntables are setup with different cartridges and different systems. It's very hard to compare every turntable in the same or similar settings.

S9 + arm: solid, dynamic, punchy. Importantly, plug & play.

Brinkmann balance + 12arm: ethereally detailed, pleasant, "fast". Expensive

Transrotor "Fat bob" (the one that looks like a pressure cooker) + arm: Ferrari acceleration, good authority (close to the S9), solid.

Another to consider: Yorke's S10 with parallel arm. Better than all the of the above. (i.e., dynamics, solidity, details, speed, authority...)

Gregm, Have you heard the new Simon Yorke arm?

I have this stupid rule of mine. When it comes to turntables and I am in doubt I go for British not German or American. I could be wrong of course.

Thanks for all the suggestions.

Gregm, S10 is double the price of S9 which is way out of my budget.

Inna, I am having the same thought as well.
