Pear Audio's Kid Thomas Owners - What is your experience?


Hi - looking into getting me a Kid Thomas TT with the external power supply.  I've read reviews but wanted to hear from some of the owners before I made the commitment.  Thanks in advance.

I used to be a dealer for Pear Audio.  I had a couple of customers that wanted to use tonearms w/ removeable headshells.  No problem.

If you use a tonearm of the same geometry (length) and can be center post mounted, you can find a way to adapt the stock arm puck.  If you need something different Pear Audio will drill a custom arm puck for you.  As I recall it takes approx. 3 weeks as they come Slovenia but it's not too expensive.  You are pretty much limited to 9"-10" length tonearms on the Kid Thomas.  If you wanted to use a transcription-length arm you could consider making an offboard weighted pillar.
