Dohmann Helix Two Mk 2 turntable with Schroder CB tonearm and Phasemation PP-2000 cartridge.
Nagra electronics, Vimberg speakers, REL subs.
The client had contacted me to adjust the armboard properly and dial in the phono cartridge performance.
Words fail to convey what this turntable system did except get out of the way and deliver a listening experience I've rarely had.
