Some of the teachers at a school I work at were laughing about the retirement-planning leaflets in the staff-room. I worked out that I'd be older than they are now if I was able to complete a degree..

Just rip off that arm and replace it with an SME V + cartridge of your choice!

I just recently seen a Denon DP100 go for $6K I think it was on the
Audiogon site. I don't think I would pay that much for it.

I will be going for the same deck as Clive when I can afford it Its a its a very impressive sounding deck. I actually thought the dc motor rim drive was ever so marginally better than the Verus and I remember being totally blown away by the Verus drive
Re. the Verus, spookily enough, John, look what I did last night:

'IF' big if, but if I could afford it, i'd probably blow upto £2500-3000 quid on the turntable/arm/cartridge and upto £1000 on the phonostage, probably......
I reckon that would get me just about 'there' and you'd have to spend ALOT more to get noticeably better.
Don't ask me what it is because I haven't made my mind up yet:scratch:.
I do like these however, and having heard one, I think I could splash the cash.

Hi Alex,
How are you getting on with that? I've not heard much about your project lately... Did you get your Nagaoka cartridge? :)Quote:
£1500-2000 would probably be what I would spend - I would find it hard to justify much more - but in reality I will be building around my Garrard 401 - which will hopefully beat anything in that price range!

I'm not going to say how much my top wack would be, but suffice to say I could easily knock a 0 off some of the numbers being quoted here! Perhaps I'm lucky in not having heard may really high-end systems... if I won the lottery I'd get myself an EMT just to hear how it sounded. Not much chance of finding one new though :lol:
I am easy, if I had the money I would just buy myself an old turntable, the Pioneer P3a, also provided if I could find one.
Hi King,
How did you get on with your Shure cartridge - did you try it with a higher mass arm/headshell? :)
Marco.
