The "Picture of your Turntable(s)" thread, Pt. 4

Here is my new Redpoint Model D TT with Triplanar and Micro Seki arms!!!

 

Got a new face plate for my silver Technics 1200! I modified it too with KAB tonearm wires and RCA cables!

Here's a URL to How To guide I made and posted here for anybody interested in doing this upgrade themselves (the wires, not the face plate): http://forums.stevehoffman.tv/threads/technics-1200-kab-tonearm-rewire-rca-upgrade-guide.467495/

 

All Linn Sondek + Naim ARO tonearm.

Hello everybody! This is my first post

 

Hiya. Purty table. Welcome.

 

Hi there! Welcome. Beautiful turntable. What's the cart?

 

Welcome mate !

 

Thank you for your warm welcome.

HiFi Guy 008,

The first two shot, the cartridge in use is Lyra Kleos SL ( Single Layer: low output version ), in the 3rd shot, Linn Kandid and in the 4th shot, Linn Adikt moving magnet as a daily driver.
I also use Ortofon SPU Royal N which has a very different flavour from most modern cartridges.

 

Same tables, but new pics!

 

Plinth doesn't look stock....is it or a custom build?
Lovely none-the-less!

 

hi cat9,

Plinths shown are sourced from Woodsong Audio who offer many exotic wood plinth for a Sondek.
The ones shown are rare figured African (Gaboon) ebony and wenge.

I still have the original afromosia plinth. It's so old it even has a kick stand hole. This was my first Sondek with the lowest spec recommended by a friend (Basik/Basik Plus/K9/Glued subchassis/no Cirkus bearing/all new tune-up parts ) The best 850$ I spent. Whilst the fluted afromosia matches my speakers (Linn Isobarik), I prefer the sound of these aftermarket plinths better.

 

VPI Classic Signature

 

I can't wait until I can afford a VPI. Beautiful table

 

Really very nice. I need to get an outer ring for my table, but it isn't cheap.

 

Thank you, I traded in a very clean 3 yr. old Classic 1 with an on-line vender, I assume it will be for sale soon. Send me a p.m. if you think you might be interested and I'll give you their information.

They do come up for sale on the used market occasionally, I found a new one about a year ago from a dealer that sold it for the "old" price, which was still not cheap

 

Here's my Thorens TD160 Super. It has a Rega RB300 arm and a Denon DL304 MC cartridge.

 

I would like to get the Clearaudio outer limit ring, since I have their table. I only ever saw it on the used market one time. Should have jumped on it when I had the chance.

 

Yes, with TTW closing shop, your options are few.

 

TTW?

I see. That was new to me. Thanks for the info. The Clearaudio ring and locator is about $1200 new.

 

Howdy...

 

Hello Henry,

Is that an Akiva?

 

I see you have the Eagle and the RoadRunner. Nice.

 

I appreciate the offer. Unfortunately, my current budget just wouldn't allow it. It will have to wait. My SL1200 is running very well for the time being, anyway.
