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

Here's my new TT at home: a Pro-Ject RPM 6.2 Evolution, with an Ortofon Black Quintet stylus. A huge improvement compared to my previous one, a Pro-Ject Debut III!

 

That is very cool must of been expensive?

 

Actually given the price on the used market of the Micro Seiki RY5000 controller it was very reasonable. The controller box was machined from new, I already owned the Phoenix Engineering Tach and PSU. The issue was sourcing an AC motor that was good enough and then shoe-horning all the kit into the Controller body. If you have interest contact me and i'll put you in contact with Mirko - his work is exemplary ...just takes time.

 

This is Epic

 

Nice but you must mean 9.2 and not 6.2.

 

A buddy has a Performance DC......not so sure I agree with you.

 

Hi all
First post - my Elac Miraphone 22 based DIY turntable, drived by three phase AC regenerator.



And lovely AT150MLX cart

 

It's been a while since I put mine on here. Only recent change has been a new cart - Benz Glider:

 

My new-to-me Basis 2001 with improved Vector tonearm, Ortofon 2M cart, Phoenix Engineering Road Runner and Falcon PSU. NOW I know that all the fuss is about!

 

Dear "Utahusker"

I hope i don't embarrass you with this question.
I am the owner of a AVID Diva I

It is possible to buy a limited SP update for this older tabel, only the 2 belt driver, (not the heavier platter) with hopefully will give better performance on speed aberrations.

The point is, the avid never was convincing (wow and flutter) with e.g. classic piano music, maybe because I have a krell ksa50 50 Watt class A which needs a lot of current. Could you give me an idea what the upgrade could do, i am considering a no break (spu for computers) to stabilize the voltage/current /frequency as well.

Maybe I am spoiled by a lot of streaming of HD files (lumin) , but during visits to friends I am often struck by the possible quality of vinyl spinning and I still do have a lot of records.

My ears seem to be sensitive for distortion ( Quad Acoustats Carvers) and apparently wow and flutter, I care less about colourization and non linearity.

Or should I switch to a vintage quartz direct drive

 

When I go camping, I always bring a few records, a pencil, a piece of paper and a pin.

My wife can spin my pencil just right.

 

But when I am home, I am satisfied with listening in on other people's music

 

Do I dare ask what that piece is sticking out from the front of the cart? Looks like a bayonet.

 

Those are on all the Rega Apheta carts.....sort of like a built in stylus guard.

 

There are some GORGEOUS turntables in here! If I may, please allow me to introduce you to my new friend, the TW Acustics Raven AC with two 10.5 tonearms and a Miyajima Zero mono cart and Ortofon A-95 stereo cart.

 

That's . . . real nice!

 

Here is one to keep in your day pack when you can't get that jingle jangle tune out of your head

 

Wow. Some seriously nice set ups. Gorgeous turntables and cartridges!

 

KILLER

 

There's a hole

Wonderful turntable. You should try some MC on that. and.....

I'm fixing a hole where the rain gets in
And stops my mind from wandering
Where it will go...

Fix that hole, please!

 

My dad was into high end cartridges a long time ago

 

That is so cool.

 

That is what the stylus guard slides onto

 

That's a cowcatcher.
