@solypsa , I will only use a suspended table and am not interested in two arms. Do you know what frequency the suspension is tuned to?
TT Recommendation
My current system consist of a Pro-Ject 2Xperience TT with Ortofon 2M Silver cart, Mcintosh MA5300 being used as a preamp, Mcintosh MC462 power amp and B&W 802D3 speakers. I'm looking to upgrade the TT and looking for recommendations. I thought that I had narrowed my search down to the Rega P8 or VPI Prime 21 but yesterday someone told me that I should include the Feickert Volare as well.
What are your thoughts of the three I've listed here. Are there others that I should be looking at? My budget including cart is around $5,500 - $6,000.

@solypsa , Funny you should mention that. I saw two STST Turntables last weekend at Soundsmith. Peter Ledermann is enamored by them. It is the first suspended direct drive turntable I have ever seen. It has a thick delrin platter and a low torque DD motor which should create less magnetic perturbation in the vicinity of the cartridge. Since the Turntable is German and Peter Ledermann has a close relationship with Frank Schroder having his arms on all his tables, I suspect it was Frank that got him into this turntable. For some reason his own demonstration system still uses a VPI with a Schroder Reference arm on it. Peter says the STST might be the best turntable ever made. Unfortunately, they were not hooked up to his demonstration system so I was unable to hear them. For a top end table the price is not all that bad either. I there a version that can take any size tonearm? |
