I have a Kenwood KD600, Grace 707 and a Sleeping Beauty (Coral 777) elliptical mc cartridge. The KD600 has the stock arm, the Grace tonearm is presently on a Linn Sondek and the Sleeping Beauty's on a Fidelity Research FR29 mounted on an Ariston RD11 TT (Linn's Scottish cousin). This last TT, tonearm/cartridge combination is capable of astounding musical insights into ANY LP I choose! No need for a five-figure TT system!
How does a vintage turntable compare to what is available today?
I have a Kenwood KD 500 turntable with a Grace 707 tonearm and a Great American Sound Sleeping Beauty cartridge with a Ruby Cantilever with Nude Contact Line stylus. Can anyone advise me as to how this would rate with present-day turntable platforms?I
I am pretty happy with this platform but I am always curious as to where I could improve. Thanks.
