Confused new boy

[Oldpinkman]

I assume you meant the SL1200 when you said "techie". No idea. I've heard it on an LSD with a Decca London, and it was the business. I had an SL1200 from Arthur (with achromat - without other mods, and with said 1022) as the "loaner" while he pimped my PT. It was a joy to use, a beauty to behold, neutral, uncoloured, and ditchwater dull to listen to. I imagine the arm will work well on it - but it is jaw-dropping on the PT. Plans for further mods start now....

Richard, that PT stuff is seriously hot. I lusted after some of that gear a few decades back and still do! It's among the finest looking gear that ever was IMHO. Never saw any in the flesh back then though as we were a bit isolated down here. I know of a rather splendid chap who has a PT TT still and loves it.

It was hot stuff. A brief browse on this forum reveals lots of far more exotic stuff, but PT was honest, accurate and excellent value for kit you could buy from a regular hifi shop. There is tinkering I can (and may) do with what I have, but the room is the ultimate limiting factor until I get my dream villa in France, and can think about some ESL63's....
Meantime - I haven't heard anything significantly better than I have - and Funk Firm seems to be continuing the tradition.

Nice to see someone who knows Arthur, whom I consider to be not only one of the most talented audio designers I know, but also one of the nicest human beings I've met.
