| Why will no other Tonearm beat the FR-66s? Dear Syntax, Thanks for your honest insight; a little shocking given I own it (along with Phantom, Triplanar, Ittok, SME V), but you are right in that golden era of analog probably produced all the best turntables, arms and carts that economies of... | |
| Why will no other Tonearm beat the FR-66s? Hi bdp24, Have always wanted a Zeta. And a Syrinx too. As a school boy with no money these were the stuff of dreams back then. | |
| Why will no other Tonearm beat the FR-66s? Sorry to be responding to an old post, but I just stumbled across this. I have an Ikeda arm, which is claimed as an improvement over the FR, but I am guessing that you must have found it not to be the case. Would love to know your thoughts as to w... | |
| What is David Bowie's turntable? I can visualize both Linn and B&O mentioned. If a Linn, it would be a nonchalant, I-couldn’t-care, saw-it-at-Harrod’s-and-bought-it-on-a-whim, kind of Bowie cool. Or "Ivor gave it to me and I could not refuse". Cannot imagine Bowie ever tweaki... | |
| What is best turntable for listening to Rock from the sixties like Led Zeppelin? Thanks bdp24. If I was starting from scratch I would optimize everything for the Decca, although I did get good results on a PT/RB300/Garrot-Decca and Linn Axis/Akito/Decca-Maroon in the past.

| What is David Bowie's turntable? after posting my response I googled DB and PT and thought maybe raymonda had made a mistake; never occurred to me it might be a joke... I guess I am what you call a square. | |
| What is best turntable for listening to Rock from the sixties like Led Zeppelin? Thanks Raymonda. I do have an FM Acoustics linearizer that is for this purpose that I should play around with more. | |
| What is David Bowie's turntable? Pink Triangle? What a coincidence - I used to have one, loved it and so much miss it! Bowie astounds me at every turn...... | |
| What is best turntable for listening to Rock from the sixties like Led Zeppelin? Thanks for all the suggestions. I was a "belt-drive. floating suspension" guy when I was young, but hearing Zeppelin on a Technics player (could have well been SL1200), Shure cart, McIntosh vintage solid-state pre, Crown amplifier, and JBLs, made ... | |
| London Decca Jafox, I find it hard to believe myself I can keep listening to a table top radio, but I have come to believe that enjoyment of music and hifi reproduction can be separate (otherwise why do musicians listen to pretty boring audio, right)? I too st... | |
| London Decca The Satanic sound of the Decca is the only thing I miss from high end audio.After I last moved house (almost 2 years now), all my beloved equipment remains in boxes (Immedia and Mico Seiki turntables, Triplanar/ Graham Phantom/ Ikeda and SME V arm... |
