Turntables currently considered top of the range. Do you know what they are ?

@dwette Wow… they have come a long way… my initial inquiry about the Brinkmann went off to Engineering and at that time… about 4 years ago..a quick quote of $5 K..

i should revisit… now… where did i put that 3rd TT ? Actually it’s over Italian Mag lev feet…

Minus K requires a few specs to get started… center of mass, total mass and envelope dimensions..mostly the feet touch points… about $5 K for the Kuzma i spoke about… would be similar for my Bardo. Think aerospace lab optical / laser bench vibration isolation = minus K

Whart is on speed dial…

As @dogberry mentioned and i agree.. SME should get more TT love here ( my edit along with Basis ) A very good friend has a 20 SME w Reed arm and lovely Core Audio isolation…. fantastic organic musical…

@dwette Agree, right now both of my TT live on HRS bases. The Denon uses Vortex footers.. All my components live on HRS Nimbus couplers, many w HRS damping blocks and i also use custom Core Audio Design shelves - they are a very unique massive constrained layer design…. Fun…

Actually yes with built in minus K a Safir arm and a Verismo into exact same downstream CH > Big Magico in a superb room.. The competing setup a Kuza Ref, 4 Point, Kuzma CAR-50 and sitting on another Minus K….

knifefight with no clear winner…. except visual aesthetics and a sizable pile of $$$$$ 

Impossible to unhear the positive impact the RonT tube brinkmann PSU has.. and i have the larger more advanced SS supply… 

@thom_oz Don't go 2 soon. I have a Bardo w Triplaner - quite lovely. Good fortune to you on your quest !
