SPU has it’s own flavor Gian and like 911 & 1911 is a classic that holds it’s own in any setup , Bon Anno!

That very well could be.
My hearing and preferences are a lot less mature than those with 30 yrs experiences switching gears in this hobby.

Been enjoying the Torqueo Zebrano with Plistro Base. Some pics setting it up with the Acoustical Systems Smarttractor

 

[gian60]

Torqueo is doing a new T Base bigger where you can put 4 pilastro Base for 4 tonearms

Yes I am looking forward to that as I have a few plans to accommodate at least one more arm and cart for comparison

I'd love to come over and listen to this table when you're all set up.

 

[Believe High Fidelity]

Cart is new so need to break it in just a while longer to open it up and then we can really jam

 

[ferrari275]

Attractive bit of kit....

For clarification, the Torqueo, at its roots, this is a modded vintage Rek-O-Kut Rondine Jr. L37 (34?) or is it based on the Rek-O-Kut LP743?

To borrow an expression from the custom car world 'tribute' is closer to mark than modded.

 

[Believe High Fidelity]

There are companies that refurb old components (maybe with a refreshing of the hardware) like Garrads into new plinths and there are those like Torqueo that take the technology of the idler drive and build a new design from scratch. Saying Rek O Kut is like a Torqueo, is like saying a belt drive table is like another belt drive just because they both use belt drive.

Solypsa, well stated! I adore certain properly executed vintage based interpretations, "tributes" if you will of turntables, and own several of the finest examples myself.

After examination of Torqueo's website, I discovered the answer to my initial inquiry, their record players are based directly on the Rek-O-Kut Rondine Jr. L34 est. circa 1952. On their Labor Process page, a original Rek-O-Kut L34 top plate can be seen next to one of their new plates, obviously the drive geometry and mechanical layout, if you will, is identical to its forebearer and the basis of its design. On their Tech Info page, the mention of NOS motors being cleaned and necessary parts being replaced is covered as well as new motors being used, so uncertain sure which explanation is the more accurate one.

Believe High Fidelity, with all due respect, the Torqueo, is undeniably a modern reinterpretation of the Rek-O-Kut idler drives, thus it simply is not a "new design built from scratch", but rather a beautiful homage and vast improvement from the original. On the ARDESIA page, the chassis inscription reads "Rek-O-Kut Rondine L-34", so its roots are evident.



.......And that being said, I may consider adding one to my collection someday.

Torqueo is doing an external power supply also for have perfect 33 and 45 rpm
Has big trans made in Italy by hand by a company that do special trans,named F.I.A.T.

 

[byrdparis]

Gian,
This power supply is standard with all of their models?
Or it’s a add on/upgrade path from the one you’ll get with one of their models?

Thank you.

 

[gian60]

You can use with all their model but is an upgrade and I don’t know price,they are checking the price
