Well Tempered Labs Record Player, thoughts on a used one?

Uber, did you buy the WT, and if so what do you think of it? I usually keep my head down on WT tonearm questions, because I once had to mount a cartridge in a Reference version and grew to hate it. Also it seemed to homogenize the sound; everything sounded good but with the same sluggish coloration. I know I’m in a minority. It seemed way overdamped, and perhaps that was my fault.So perhaps my impression is to be ignored. Surely the Amadeus must be better than the Reference because it has many avid fans.

Lewm.
I did not go that route.
I considered that, a Lenco, mote upmarket Japan DD model but eventually purchased a Garrard 401 in a substantial plinth cw Micro Seiki MA505ls tone arm.
It is on my system page.

@uberwaltz,
How do you like the Garrard 401 compare to your Nak zx-7?

They are just to different to compare in all honesty.
The zx7 is near the top of the food chain as far as cassette decks go.
It has extended highs and lows but still manages the neat trick of playing buttery smooth and sweet.

The 401 has very extended highs with present phono and cart and is more engaging , fast and dynamic. It is a quite vivid reproduction of music.

I am thoroughly enjoying both.

I love Well Tempered tables... I know them very well and have made clones of their arms for personal use on both my idlers. Both the older and newer designs are brilliant and DO punch well above their price point. I have had the WTT since buying it used in 1990, bought a WTRP used and another that I'm selling. Also bought the plinth of a WT Simplex off eBay cheap, built the golf ball arm for it via 3d printing (looks similar to a 9" Amadeus but with greater adjustability) and built a lower base for it so I could use use a WTRP bearing, spindle and platter. Added the WT DPS. ALL Well Tempered's are fantastic players and way easy to use.
