Keith.

[RobbieGong]

Cheers Keith - Beautiful :)

[purite audio]

The Monaco is built and is being tested, the Triplanar has been fitted and adjusted but, with Christmas and then CES I probably won't actually receive the turntable before mid January .
Keith.

[purite audio]

On its way!

Marco Hi, the turntable almost comes assembled there is very little to do, you have to fill it with oil!

Hi Keith, 20 thousand english pounds worth of turntable in ones house ! Can't be bad :)

[Ali Tait]

20 grand! Holy schmoley!

[Marco]

Yes, and that's without a tonearm! :eek:

Keith, it looks rather interesting and very different from 'the norm'... I'm sure it'll sound superb. Love that Triplanar! :stalks:

So.... Can I bring my Techy down and compare it to the Monaco? ;)

Marco.

[RobbieGong]

20 grand! Holy schmoley!

:lol: I know what you mean Ali. I thought the same as just around a quarter of that would give me the system I'm hoping to get to and it would most certainly be a 'proper' system :eek:

[Ali Tait]

Yes, and that's without a tonearm! :eek:

Keith, it looks rather interesting and very different from 'the norm'... I'm sure it'll sound superb. Love that Triplanar! :stalks:

So.... Can I bring my Techy down and compare it to the Monaco? ;)

Marco.

How much is the tonearm?

[Marco]

I suspect around £6k. I'm sure Keith will confirm...

Marco.

[Ali Tait]

Yikes! If I win the lottery then...

[Ali Tait]

Bet one of Dom's carts would sound nice on that.

[Marco]

Oh yes....!

Marco.

[YNWaN]

That arm sure looks a long way from the deck - beautifully made thing though :)

That arm sure looks a long way from the deck - beautifully made thing though :)

Looks like a 9" arm on a 12" mount to me.

[purite audio]

It is a 12" Triplanar.
Keith.

The Monaco isolation platform, and carbon 'formula' shelf.

[YNWaN]

Is the arm tube also carbon fibre Keith?

[purite audio]

Mark Hi, certainly the outside bit is. I will find out the exact composition .
KR Keith.

[Mr. C]

I remember attending a demonstration of this deck at the Rocky mountain show a few years back, impressive sound.

A member of the captivated audience stood up and asked if he could put some small device between the shelves, the chap demonstrating smiled and agreed, after placing said pieces he sat down and he almost got mobbed from the results.

Funny old world is audio.

Grand Prix Audio, 'Monaco' direct drive turntable, Triplanar 12" tonearm, Dynavector XV1-S cartridge.
Certainly the best turntable I have ever owned.
