Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously?
Regensburg in Bavaria may be closer to you chakster......That's where Thuchan's Tech resides and I've witnessed his work first-hand.It's first class and he now knows the TT-101 inside out.... 
Curved and Straight Tonearms
I would not want to be one of those who recently paid a premium for the FR66S, however, where the asking prices are up around $6-7,000. I’m not sure if you are overestimating Raul’s influence Lewm (if I am understanding you correctly)...in suggest...

Nice work on the plinth totem....👌'Be happy to help audpulse...just pm me or post your email.... 
Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously?
Yes chakster......it's the same plinth except his is slate whilst mine is polished granite.I sent Thuchan the blueprints which he used for his slate copy...It's really hard to be definitive in the used TT-101 market....They are so rare that their ...

Hi chakster,After the High-End Show 2017 in Munich....I spent several days in Regensburg (a scenic Bavarian town on the Danube) where I was privileged to listen extensively to Thuchan's impressive system.His Victor TT-101 was never humbled by his ... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
So now you add a complete and detailed description and pricing of a system which was totally missing in your first generalised statement....My former system of Rega Planar 3/Hadcock GH-228/Garrott P77 and Kebschull preamp with inbuilt phonostage f...

Greetings from High End Munich...😎No vintage DD tables in use here....Tables of choice appear to be Kronos and TechDas.....but mostly they spin for show.CDs and Servers are the popular (and easier) option.....and when the sound you hear is predomi...

The Yamaha GT2000 series turntables use the coreless motor supplied by JVC if I recall correctly...🤓 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
The jump from mm to mc requires a significant investment in both turntable and system. A statement devoid of explanation or scientific fact.

Thanks for those Links JP....That arm is a serious piece of work 👁Good score Shane 👏 
Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously?
Looks good Shane.....😎Can't remember seeing a Technics arm quite like that one.....

Shane-rather than buying the Denon....I'd be more tempted to buy his TT-101 as a backup to mine. Knowing how thoroughly and beautifully re-built his Victor is...I suspect it may be the best TT-101 in existence...?🤗Any news on your SP10Mk3?Will be ...

Dover- without him actually saying it....I don't think Thuchan is that impressed with the DP100M.I DO know that it doesn't get much listening time amongst his enviable collection, so your description of its sound is believable....although I wouldn...

Thuchan has the Denon DP100Mhttps://audiocirc.com/2015/04/15/denon-100m/ but is in the process of selling it....🤔He's not a huge DD fan and may even sell his Victor TT-101...😱

Glad you like the UNI Lew...That one was my third after I wore out the first one nine years ago.At that stage I was a one-turntable/one-cartridge man and wanted to ensure I had continued listening-enjoyment for the years ahead....😎With iover 40 ca...
