Who has a turntable in their setup?

Very interested to hear how this combination works. Always looking for alternatives to the tried-and-true Shure V15 type III/IV for my SME 3009.

How about this one then - a 301 with 12" SME arm and North West Analogue’s own plinth and DS3 cartridge (and slate record weight). Their place was a photographer’s dream - lovely light, textures and colours.

lovely; do you have a shot that shows the plinth?

The first one is the ‘standard’ 35kg plinth, the second one the better 50kg one.

Hmmm, the HG is much lower spec’d than the Degritter however there is a mahooosive price difference. Luckily the missus has bought me a Degritter for xmas so cost hasnt come into it. 120hz makes much smaller bubbles which get right into the nooks. Like a proper deep clean as opposed to wipe round the face with a wet flannel :wink:

There’s some beautiful turntables out there and often I think about acquiring one again now that the kids are grown up.

Then I think about the inconvenience of flipping the record (not to mention re-buying them) and that moment of thought disappears.

But flipping is the FUN vinyl gives you! :grinning:

Vinyl done right is usually far ahead of an average digital setup. This earthy life like sound is out of reach for most digital equipment. It took me years to find the right digital devices.

  1. Linn Klimax in the newest incarnation
  2. DCS Bartok and above
  3. Chord
  4. Mola Mola Tambaqui

These DACs I have experiene with.
I bought No.4
The drawback is their price.

The wooden bits have now moved to a new house and the stand adapted for a Gyrodec with Audiomods tonearm. What a brilliant combination. Wonderful, to my poor old ears, with the addition of the subs.
