All this has come about due to a recent acquisition of an all time favourite tonearm. (Dynavector DV507 Mk II).
Anyway, now I have got this arm, what Turntable would you advise?
My current TT. (Townsend Rock 7) will have to go to fund whatever is chosen but I'm in a complete dilemma what to get or if it will even match up to the sonic quality of what I've all ready got. I know the arm will be better but as for the rest of it...... I have no idea.
As a complete uneducated punt, I was thinking maybe the Grail Audio 301 (completely rebuilt) and the SMD Granite plinth but that's just a guess in the dark. Or perhaps something more modern!
There also appears to be many differing views about Plinth materials, i.e slate / granite / wood and it seems to be a bit of a minefield as to what is best.... or even preferred.
Unfortunately, I can't afford to buy it all and then compare, so the sale will have to fund the purchase. "Let's hope I don't make the biggest mistake in ever"
I have been out of the general TT market for many years as I only have ever had the Townsend models, so I am not educated on what is good / bad or indifferent.
It must sound madness, but I really am happy with what I've got but the Dynavector has got me a little more than just curious.
budget (with the sale of the Rock / Merlin / SME) possibly about 4K.
I'm not suggesting you choose a TT for me, but any pearls of wisdom or advice really would be appreciated.
Best
