Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously?

TECHNICS SP10 MK3 POWER SOURCE / SPEED CONTROLLER
Cdk84, I am afraid the aforementioned 100v 50Hz/60Hz Technics Sp10Mk3 power supply as mentioned above has already sold.  However, we just received another power supply for which you, or perhaps another person, may be interested in.  This model is ...

How good is the Obsidian plinth of Technics SP10 ?

SP10mk2: OMA Graphite plinth vs.Dobbins plinth
Chakster, Bear in mind Artisan Fidelity posseses the ability to craft a plinth using any specific predetermined dimensional or aesthetic criteria you desire. In terms of the Sp10Mk2, this applies to a conventional type layout or a direct motor cou...

Direct drive vs belt vs rim vs idler arm
The Final Audio Parthenon indeed represented engineering which was ahead of its time. Dover, for clarification, the latest version Artisan Fidelity Garrard 301 Statement uses an internally damped Magnesium alloy based and Copper modular platter wi... 
Direct drive vs belt vs rim vs idler arm
To suggest the Technics Sp10Mk3, when properly conceived and implemented, cannot during playback recreate an accurate portrayal of an analog recording possessing the appropriate pitch, scale, speed consistency and balance is purely absurd. Numerou... 
Are there other Artisan Fidelity TT owners aorund?
Wattsperchannel, Yes indeed, several comparisons were made side by side playing the SME 30/12A directly next to several models in the Artisan Fidelity line. Please PM me directly if you are interested in hearing details.
