End of may around will arrive AF3 Premium,together with Torqueo compact Limited

I think AF3 Premium with his new 29 kg composite platter will be more similar AF2 and AF1 with his weight on mid bass
I will put Basis Superarm 9 and could be Durand Kairos
and Saec 506 on Torqueo

They Will reach Bergmann and Schopper 124,so i can finally use and listen all my cartridges

Regards

Congratulations, Gian! :)

Out of curiosity why the Durand Kairos and not the Durand Telos?

Which cartridge will you put on the Superarm 9, and which cartridge would you put on the Durand?

Ciao Ron,

Kairos first because cost much much less than Telos.
Italian distributor,that is also CH distributor has 1 in stock with his cable,and give to me at very good price
I will put GFS on Kairos,following the Mike experience,Coralstone Diamond on Saec 506 on Torqueo,and on Basis i will try Opus 1 and Atlas sl

PS,Hope Bonzo don't come to visit me otherwise i have to put all cartridges to all tonearm

Those combinations all make sense to me, Gian. The Koetsu might also work on the Basis.

Hi Gian I have a Koetsu Coralstone mounted on a Basis Superarm 9 and it works great. I will be very interested to see your thoughts on the AF3 Premium as this is one of the turntables I had in mind to audition to hear if it is a step up from my current Brinkman Le Grange regards

Gian, congrats! I don't think you'll be needing your Torqueo anymore, so you can hand it down to me. :)
