I have seen those S.A.M. turntables for sale here on Audiogon. They seem too good to be true, for the price offered. That’s no disrespect to the manufacturer. If they can make and sell them for that price, OK. If it were me (and I’m not you), I would look for a well-reviewed, time-tested design like the Technics 1200. They’re available everywhere. You can send your funds to Croatia, but if it turns out to be a scam, or something less than your expectations, are you sure you can get compensation It’s your money, you decide, but I would give it some serious thought first.
S.A.M. Turntables...
"Is there anybody in there? Just nod if you can hear me."
Does any one own, or have experience with, any of the S.A.M. turntables from Croatia?? I am strongly considering their Renegade table, possibly with the two arm setup, using a Clearaudio TT-3 as one of the arms, and the S.A.M. Calista ll (med-high mass unipivot) as the other arm. Another possibility is their Reference table with the same arm configuration. I would like to match one of these tables with a Benz Micro (probably a Glider) and a London Decca (maybe the Maroon). Thoughts and opinions appreciated...
