lol! Well I did accomplish something by posting in the wrong thread and wrongly accusing spartree ....lol!
Here is my current setup. Recently acquired Planar 8 with Apheta3 and Aria II phono. I'm using an Audio Technica phono lift and Pro-Ject dust cover. The Rega dust cover does not fit with the arm lift. I think the Pro-Ject dust cover offers better protection for the stylus anyway.
So far, the AT arm lift works pretty much every time. I've had one record so far, that had a lot of dead space at the end of the record and the antenna didn't get tripped. A minor adjustment fixes that. Just get one!
David Very nice system. How do rate your Pass Labs Int 60? I have a pair of Wilson Sacha 2’s in my main system and am considering an Int 60 or Int 250. Thanks Clay
Clay, I have owned the Int 60 for ~4 years now and it has been excellent. I typically buy and sell and rotate equipment, you know how this hobby is. Anyway, I've held on to the Int 60 longer then usual. I'm sure you have read the reviews. The Int 60 seems more powerful then the specs suggest. Unless you have a huge room, the Int 60 would probably be awesome with the Wilsons. Years ago I had Watt 3 puppy 2's. Miss them.
This is a photo from the great Part Time Audiophile site/review. Don't have a photo posting account and this is probably a better picture than I would take. Just bought this table recently and am really liking it. Still can't quite decide if it's kind of ugly or resplendent in its earthy materials. I do now that the cheap "bubble" logo on the plinth was a bad decision.
OK, I've had the turntable for 9 years now, but I finally treated myself to a proper acrylic cover: F8C7E84A-309B-4DF4-947D-38D16C091452_1_201_a by call_me_theo, on Flickr E30E1A97-6F84-4749-9535-E25EFE1208CB_1_201_a by call_me_theo, on Flickr
Macallan and Vinyl - My two favorite things VPI Prime setting on home made 3" maple block stained to match the wood in the room. It sets on 4 IsoAcoustics.
