Well Tempered Amadeus owners

Have had mine for 3 years. Replaced one belt in that time (mine came with several extra belts from the dealer, and they're free for life).

I fastidously watch the platter speed and about to make my second adjustment (both extremely minimal).

This is an incredible turntable and I would buy another one. It's the only piece of my system I doubt I'll ever upgrade.

Paul2240- do you use the supplied WTL Speed strobe record to check the speed. Just curious, because i am thinking about an alternative option. Another very happy Amadeus owner here. I will be picking up a new GTA next week to replace my standard Amadeus. The latter will have a happy new home in my 2nd system. Cheers -Don

Don, would love to hear your thoughts on the GTA versus the standard Amadeus once it's broken in.

that's amazing how you can have the same belt for 3 years. I am pretty consistent about breaking a belt every few weeks and I probably only listen for 10hrs a week. I've had 3 different Amadeus too, so I know it is not the table. I've had factory belts, Pranka belts, and my belts all break in roughly the same amount of time.

I went from a standard Amadeus to the GTA. the GTA does everything exactly the same as the Amadeus, but kicks it up a notch.

I have one of Vortrex's old Amadeus tables, with one of his belts on it, and it has not broken in the several months since I got it. Vortrex, it must be you!

In what ways does the GTA kick it up a notch?
