@fjn04 - thank for mentioning the Denon 103. Definitely one I'd consider, or a modded variant. I'm also curious about the Mo-Fi Ultradeck, but thinking the PolyTable and Well Tempered have dampening that's more forgiving in my room.
Merrill GEM Dandy PolyTable vs. Well Tempered Amadeus
I'm looking to upgrade turntables, going from vintage to modern and am looking at mid-priced options ($2000-$3500).
The two tables that keep coming up are George Merrill's GEM Dandy PolyTable (or SuperTable with 12" tonearm) and models by Well Tempered, most likely the Amadeus Mk ii. Thinking of running the Hana SL or similar on either table...
Has anyone else considered these two options and (hopefully) auditioned each? Thoughts: re: PolyTable vs. Super12? Amadeus vs. other Well Tempered models?
My setup: Odyssey Audio Kismet mono amps, Odyssey Tempest preamp (with MM/MC phono stage), Klipsch Cornwall I speakers, Anti-cables speaker wire & interconnects.
Why these two tables - both designers have embraced outside-the-box thinking rather than traditional designs on steroids, both focus on dark backgrounds, both are dampened tables; less fuss, more listening.
Thanks!
