I believe he's away until Friday. Give him a shout at the weekend.

Oliver ,
any chance for Phonomac's e-mail , I received PM from him but his inbox is full and cannot reply

Wholeheartedly agree with Oliver.

Speak To Angus!!!

I used to have a SP10 Mk2 / 'Phonomac AT1010' and it was incredible.
In fact I've been lucky enough to hear the arm through many of its variations
(I took many notes and really should do a write up as such)!
Only sold it as i needed to raise some funds for the new house purchase :-(
When i needed to sell it, I didn't even have to advertise it before it was snapped up.

As and when I'm back in the pennies, it's the only arm on my shortlist.

I've seen Peter's deck and heard it and it is truly beautiful.

Both of these decks were the result of significant investment by major companies during the golden age of vinyl. To replace with a deck of equivalent quality by a boutique manufacturer would be tens of thousands. They are outstanding decks.

Having heard the Technics and Denon, as well as owning 7 turntables, I chose the Sony TTS8000. It is in a similar vein to the aforementioned decks; very expensive on release, backed by huge R&D and almost impossible to replace with the same quality.

Slav,

I can't recommend the DP80 Highly enough. It's certainly the best TT I've ever owned. Mind you, I guess the Dynavector 507 Mk ii arm helps somewhat.

Mind you, as ever it's horses for courses.... Some prefer the SP 10 and no arguments on that subject.

The DP80 will be difficult to repair but everything is possible. If you can find a good one..... You will never look back.

This seems to be turning into The best looking turntables Ever thread!

All truly stunning.

Just waiting for Beobloke to trump us all with his X-9

[Boyse6748]

Now, the X-9 is a lovely TT

About five years ago I have the chance to purchase this DP100.... I’m still kicking myself for not doing so!!!

That's a substantial TT.

The DP100 and Sony X9 are both massively built broadcast decks, designed compete with EMT. They both generally sell for 6k to 10k Euros, along with the SP10 mark 3.

Just to join in, here is my Denon DP-80. After extensive listening to Boyce6748’s DP-80, I was convinced. I was a dedicated Garrard 401 user until I happily made the change. Thanks for the supplier connection, Peter.

Mounted in a CLD plinth made by vinylspinner, veneered and finished in Japanese Tamo Ash by Toppsy and used with an Audiomods Series 5 arm with Ortofon Kontrapunct B. The very best sound I’ve ever had.
