| SME 20/3 or Oracle Delphi VI or Garrard 301 Inna.......sorry, wrong answer ;-)It's gonna be the SME 20/12 with V-12 arm.Now for the cartridge! | |
| SME 20/3 or Oracle Delphi VI or Garrard 301 Lewm.....Yep you are correct, at least 4 tables over that price. In fact saw something the other day for $650,000!!!I would love to hear your table...I'm very intrigued about DD. There is so much good science attached to the concept.I am living on... | |
| SME 20/3 or Oracle Delphi VI or Garrard 301 Inna.Yep that had me scratching my head too. $100k! Is any turntable worth that much money? Let me see...new Porsche 911....or record player without arm or cartridge...decisions decision!No worries.....Not going to trust others ears but was lookin... | |
| To SME or not to SME? Dover,I'm not nervous about the money just being careful and taking in all the data I can. Kinda excited actually as this is not something I do very often!I agree that any of the TT options will be good ..in fact...great. I am just looking to fine... | |
| SME 20/3 or Oracle Delphi VI or Garrard 301 Lewm...thanks for the info.I corresponded briefly with Albert and he stunned me with the price of the mk3's.Wow that's big money for an old table sans arm and plinth.Sure would love to hear what they can do when set up right....a la Porter. | |
| To SME or not to SME? Sksos1...many mahalos.I guess in the end one has to buy, try and if necessary sell on and try again.I've spent the last 3 weeks quizzing Audiogoners and others but as Dover stated I'm still fluffing around and changing my mind every other day.Time... | |
| Revel Salon2 vs Wilson Sasha I am also looking to upgrade my aging B&W 801 III speakers and have been considering the Salons, 801D or Wilsons.My system also consists of all Krell EVO 202/402e and 505 SACD.Very interested in what you decide on.Large hexagonal room, 800 sqf... | |
| To SME or not to SME? Sksos1...thanks for the info.I was just interested in the cartridge more than anything.Can I ask what front end you do use and what have you heard that floats your boat.Dover...I'm "fluffing around" because spending close to 20k on a front end is ... | |
| To SME or not to SME? Sksos1 You still don't say what else was in the front end system.I'm also guessing that as the 20/3 is brand new you didn't use it for long.So what do you mean by dead? Is that a lack of coloration? Of warmth? Dead how?Dead or lifeless seem to be ... | |
| SME 20/3 or Oracle Delphi VI or Garrard 301 Oh OK. Thanks for the enlightenment. Yep I would not have an opinion on that. Never heard an SP10. But that is quite something if it can outperform a Walker. I would like to hear one if that's the case. Just read some of the threads on the subject... | |
| SME 20/3 or Oracle Delphi VI or Garrard 301 No slight intended. His name came up several times here and I'd never heard of him that's all. But his opinions do get quoted a lot so I was curious. | |
| To SME or not to SME? There is no import duty into the USA from UK for personal items like a tt I believeSW Analogue is totally the way to go. They are super nice and very SME knowledgeable too! | |
| SME 20/3 or Oracle Delphi VI or Garrard 301 I'd never heard of Albert Porter until I started this thread.So who is he and how comes so many people hang on his every word and action?Albert bought one of these so it's got to be the best in the world kind of thing.I'm not being critical...just... | |
| SME 20/3 or Oracle Delphi VI or Garrard 301 Wow...took the thought right out of my head mate.The Dyna was right at the top of my list :-)Sounds like a good combo eh! | |
| SME 20/3 or Oracle Delphi VI or Garrard 301 Gmorris.Sage advise indeed.And I think your summation of the 2 tables is spot on from all the reviews and comments I have read.I also agree that the trade up is probably unlikely. This is a more prudent path than buying the Raven now and waiting t... |
