Grand Prix Audio Monaco Turntable
 

I'm looking more closely at this one with a Tri-Planar arm.

Get this turntable Ivan! Along with the Tri-Planar arm and an awesome cartridge like the Benz LP, Lyra Titan/Etna it will be hard to beat. Black backgrounds, amazing soundstage, awesome linearity and musicality will beat most tables and make you rethink $100,000 + systems. I listened to many no cost LP systems and come back to this table for its musicality.

Ivan....while this TT remains well beyond my reach, I read this review in HiFi + some years ago, and placed it firmly in my *If I won the lottery* list ......

The review was published a few years back, and I don't know if the deck has been altered over the years, but it sure stuck in my mind:thumbsup:

Has now become version 1.5 with various updates (see website). Also available with Tri-Planar pre-installed.

I've owned this table for a few years. I love it. I've used a TriPlanar and now a Schroeder LT arm. Lyra Atlas or Allaerts MC2 Finish cartridge...

Strong endorsements, I'm impressed!

Here's another review, not very detailed but an easy read.

Thanks, I read that one too; now where to put it... :scratch2:

You should audition one. Perhaps it's time to upgrade from a Clearaudio?
