Marco.
I am waiting to get my platter back from Vantage Audio having sent it off for their P2 upgrade which comprises: "incorporating a dual-layer alloy/copper plate bonded to the existing platter.This modification allows for an improvement in vibration control of the motor / platter / tonearm closed-loop and is also designed to keep the overall moment of inertia of the platter assembly within the design parameters of the motor and control circuit. This is important as it will minimize any margin of error over which the quartz servo speed control circuit has to operate."Quote:

To cut a long story short I had a souped up Lenco GL78 and it was superb, then I joined the AOS and became SL1210'd and sold the Lenco and played with the Technics for a while to see how good I could make it sound, I had acquired a decent system to listen to it all and bought the Garrard simply because it was going for a song, hopefully when I sort out the issue with the arm not being high enough to reach the platter I can listen to it and compare the 2!
I have enough room in my listening room to house the 2 in perfect harmony!
And why not, David. I have a "lowly" Techie SL-150 currently as my main turntable, and a 401/SME 3009 needing a bit of TLC, but still getting used reasonably regularly in the office upstairs. Who says you can't have more than one? (Ok, so I've also got a Planar 3 and Pro-Ject RPM4, but variety is the spice of life, so they say!)
Forgive me for saying so Alex, but if i had that many nice TTs i would be tempted to sell the lot and get a new hi end deck.
:lolsign: Don't listen to Colin, Alex can i tempt you with a Goldring G99 :D You know you want it :eyebrows:Quote:
