Aha, they be pink ones then:eyebrows:

Yep.
It will be interesting to see how a pimped PT compares to my pimped DJ deck as well.
Above all, expect to hear the fundamental differences between belt and direct-drive T/Ts ;)
In order to minimise variables, try and ensure that at least the same cartridge is used for the comparison.

I don't think we will be swapping cartridges, as it is just a bit of fun.
I want to see how close my deck with very similar Funk upgrades gets to the modified PT with a better cartridge.
As for the differences between belt and direct drive are concerned, if Arthur has his drive upgrade sorted then it should be minimal.
No worries... There will be notable differences, for sure, which I think I could predict.
Whilst that will help, it won't equalise the fundamental way in which both drive technologies present musical information. Also, the respective 'plinth solutions' of both T/Ts will also play a big part in proceedings.Quote:

Wot - we agree on something? Amazing! :eek::D

Guys, as I indicated I might do earlier, I've tidied up the thread and moved all the 'wide baffle' speaker discussion to a separate thread of its own in Blank Canvas, so let's keep this one about Kevin's visit to Alan's place :)
Marco.
I'm sure we agree on something. I was however indicating I was looking forward to seeing Kevin again. I think Kevin is probably right. The differences between the drive systems will probably be small (vanishingly so) and other features of the design are likely to be responsible for any differences in sound. Anyway - Kevin will get to see some 63's in the flesh, and hear them in a suitable room. And my wife will get to play with Kevin's daughter - which she views as significantly more important
