Well Tempered Amadeus


I am curious if anyone has heard this turntable/arm combo? The reviews I have read are practically over the top with praise using terms such as nearly perfect, can't be beat for the price etc... If anyone has heard it, how might it compare to say the Scoutmaster.

Cheers

It's interesting to note that Sarcher30 found the Amadeus cum Dynavector 17D3 to sound so good, given that the 17D3 is one cartridge that has a very odd mounting hole to stylus tip distance, probably well outside (or inside) the norm. One would indeed think that the maker would provide the owner with a list of cartridges that will line up to some acceptable geometry when mounted in the fixed holes of the tonearm headshell. By the way, this issue applies to all the earlier WT tonearms that I know about. Samtse, you refer to "grids". Does the Amadeus come with some sort of template that has grids to align the cartridge body in the headshell. (There might be some wiggle room in the horizontal plane.) If so, that's probably what you need to do. Then just enjoy the music and fuhgeddaboudit.
0.5 inches = 12.5mm. Overhang is typically given in mm (millimeters). But thinking inside the box seems to be painful for WT. Anyway, what difference does it make, if you cannot adjust that parameter?
