Awesome. That's got to be up there with the big EMTs and your SP10 :)
Not sure about the arm, though. It looks a bit 'flimsy'...
John and Andy, interesting comments. I'll get back to you later.

Richard Huxley of Strasbourg Audio (enjoy the music on other fora) has had mint examples of the Denon, the EMT 950 and the SP10Mk3. He said that it was surprising how similar sounding these turntables became once speed fluctuation was no longer an issue.

And how right he is! Like I've said before, when you all but eradicate speed fluctuation, vinyl replay has the 'security' and pitch stability of CD - there is simply little sense of a stylus tracking a plastic groove - but one gets all the natural 'warmth' of vinyl along with its undoubtedly superior dynamic range. Welcome to the world of high quality direct-drive!Quote:

The result? Musical bliss, and a very happy place to be :smoking:
That MK3 looks simply stunning! I'm afraid it is decks like that which reduce 95% of T/Ts currently on the market to the status of mere toys.

I was rudely reminded recently how REALLY good vinyl reproduction can be - and not on a wanky springy rubber belt driven "icon" either. Apart from the SL1200 series, you need to spend serious money to get that utter stability unless you find a bargain used.
Now I wonder which turntable you could be talking about. :scratch: :eyebrows: :lol:Quote:

Ah, but the difference is, dude, you like what it does and just get into the music. You're not claiming that the LP12 is 'accurate' :)
Plus, you don't give a f*ck what anyone else thinks anyway - and quite right, too! :smoking:

Sorry I am new hear and find myself wondering have you gone into detail about what you done to your modified turntable and how it helped the sound; if not would you consider doing this I be really interested in the logic of you thinking and how you went about this
