Dear Jean: I know that you are very happy with this thread.
+++++" "The idler-wheel-drive Garrard 301 grease-bearing was the 'table used by Sugano in the design of his Koetsus.." +++++
Maybe this is the reason why the Koetsu's are so tonally unbalanced. I don't know for sure.
++++ "I have nothing new to add to this thread except my excitement. My Lenco / Decca / Shure V15 rig running into a EAR 834 P is not only great, it is stunning! As this continues to break in, I become more in love with it. This afternoon I played "The Streets," Original Pirate Material ('02), and I swear there are some things it does better than my Walker / Koetsu / Aesthetix rig. Sure the more expensive rig has finer graduations of detail, is more transparent and refined, but the Lenco provides a solid base, timing and contrast to the music that is addictive. The fact one could purchase 50 of these Lenco rigs for what my reference TT costs, no doubt clouds my judgement. " +++++
Here, there is a comparison of apples against oranges. Everything were different: TT/tonearm/cartridge/phono stage.
Now, I don't know the audio system capability resolution of each one of those testers.
Jean, I have to try that Lenco/Garrad: " when the river is so noisy is that carry water ".
Regards and enjoy the music.
Raul.
