Anyone compare the Döhmann Helix Two mk2 vs CSPort TAT1M2?


Thanks for everyone’s advice! Has anyone spent much time comparing the Döhmann Helix Two mk2 vs CSPort TAT1M2?

Sorry I mean Döhmann Helix Two mk3 but open to both!

@drbond oh man sorry to hear about your poor customer service.  That is tough.  It seems like there are very few dealers for a lot of these specialty tables!  Even TechDAS now seems to have fewer dealers.  

@rsf507 I know I've heard good things about CSPort as well.

I just reviewed my  emails that I sent, and neither were sent to Dohmann Audio.  They were sent to different distributors or dealers whose email address was listed as a contact point.  I am going to email Dohmann Audio next, and hopefully I get a better response.  Overall, I am very pleased and very impressed with the Dohmann Helix One Mk2.  I couldn’t imagine a better turntable, although I’m sure that some others are its equivalent.  

@drbond From reading in WBF about the CS Port TAT1, it looks like there is much more adjusting needed with the CS Port.

drbond we recently began selling CS Port gear and about 7 weeks ago got in our own TAT1M2 table (set-up with a Kuzma Safir arm) and the table is really a plug & play, very easy with little to adjust. Only issue is it's weight! Requires 2 people to lift, at least at my age now. 🤣 We just received a 2nd unit for a customer and are ordering a 3rd for another. Yes I've heard on the WBF that the CS Port linear air bearing arm requires some adjustments but then again linear tonearms in general are usually more challenging than others. 

I've only heard GREAT things about the Dohmann tables. Enjoy.

Dr. Bond, I too own a Dohmann Helix and have had nothing short of exemplary service from Mark and his team, which mostly involved Mark remotely adjusting the speed in my controller as I have an older version. That being said, I mostly share music recommendations and live concert reviews with Mark. You can also contact Doug White with any Dohmann related questions. He’s very responsive.
