    Default Meet Ze Monster (Trio L-07d)

    Hi all.

    Just got my new turntable back from being serviced by Nick Gorham who recapped and serviced it.

    Its the Trio L-07d.

    Absolutely mind blowing... This this is freakin' serious.

    So this is my first direct drive turntable and I am a happy bunny.

    Enjoy

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    What an absolute beast. I love the looks and from what I've read previously (as directed by NG) it's certainly an impressive performer in the specs.

    Congratulations. Serious vinly investment.

    Thanks guys... yep, it's pretty epic I must admit.

    To say it's 40 years old it really makes you think how much effort and design went in to it. It's astonishing.

    Every single one made (apparently) never re-couped. A vanity project of which the likes of would never be seen again.

    Goodness knows how much it would cost to make these days.

    Wow, that's a thing of beauty.

    Very sexy -- It even has love handles on the sides.
