Meh. Belts are for keeping your trousers up.

The Link is to a web page that has the available download, to make a cut out for a TTS 8000 or 6000 in a plinth.
This thread seems a good place to make it known.

I could not resist when a Sony PUA-1600s tonearm came up in Asia for a decent price - and I am still wondering about a Sony XL 55 Pro cartridge to match the TTS-8000. I am slowly becoming an old analogue nostalgic fart, I guess :scratch:
Just mounted for a quick listen before I dismantle the tonearm for cleaning etc:

Although fitted with a crappy Jelco JAC-506 tonearm cable (the only one I got) I must say the PUA-1600s shows some promise. The combination TTS-8000 & PUA-1600s is not that far from the other arms (Helius Omega Ruby & Terminator3pro) which has been mounted on the TTS-8000.
So it's all Japanese this weekend: TTS-8000 with PUA-1600s & Lyra Delos. Right now No-Man "Returning Jesus" is spinning - just to make you Brits happy :eyebrows:
it looks lovely. :cool:
I have a friend who owns a TTS-8000. I have a Denon DP-80. Very different approaches to solving a problem, but both work wonderfully. I was never a DD fan - had a few mid-level tables and my upper tier were always belt or idler drive. On a whim I picked up the DP-80 and (with two arms) it is now the table in my main system. It really just does everything right and makes it look (and sound) effortless in the bargain.
new cartridge to try, sounding nice,im not sure of the hours and i can bearly see the tip (story of my life!)

I can see the fluff :lol:
Looks like it needs some fancy screws lol
How's the alignment compared to the ART9?
it seems fine mate plus i have the added bonus of doing small tweaks tightening or loosening the screws,a fiddlers delight! lol
im seriously thinking about cancelling the ART-9.
what loading and tracking weight do you use,200 ish ohms seems about right to me,tracking at 2.5g
