Call me old fashioned but I’m a big Nottingham Analogue fan, currently run a Heavy upgrade kit Spacedeck and will next year change to a Dais, for me there’s something about the sound of Tom Fletcher decks
My cousin has had just about every vintage table mentioned in this thread, refurbished and mounted in various plinths. He must have gone through 7 tables in the last 2 years, and more before that. Idlers, DD's, belts etc. Several EMT, a Garard, Linn, SP10, and more I can't remember. I've heard every one for extended listening sessions. Some of you may have purchased some of his, or sold them to him.
And none of them, and he agrees, have come close to the Kronos PRO he bought a couple of months ago.
I, on the other hand, do not have nearly as much money as he has, and will sick with my vintage TT.
Something special can occasionally happen in a vinyl transfer. The fact that it can in some ways sound better or more engaging than the source is hard to swallow objectively, but I've seen it happen. Oh this hobby... In the mids, tts in my system can even sound better or as good as tape. When I say this tape people just laugh at me. Now I am rambling too much out of subject.
Kind regards,
Tang
Hi Tang
On Kronos that is fantastic you also have SAT that I think do the difference
Can you describe shortly the difference between SAT and Kronos arm?
Gian,
Have you ever listened to Audio Silente Blackstone? Do they manufacture them self or use Thorens idler?
Tang
I hope you got a damn fine pizza.
Or did you just spend all your time auditioning gear again? LOL
That is an interesting story. Can you be more specific about why he prefers this modern belt drive turntable to all of the others, and by what sounds like a large margin? Was he fairly consistent with the arm and cartridge combination throughout the trials?
