I pulled the trigger yesterday on the Opus 1 cartridge.

TT, Tonearm and System TBD. :o

Maybe time for a Transrotor. :scratch2:

So, Arturo Manzano bending your ear?

Talk with Alvin Lloyd about the Grand Prix Audio Monaco 2.0

I haven't found a more speed stable and speed accurate 'table than the Monaco 2. Couple it with your TriPlanar and you'll have an all-American analog source that will be hard to beat for less than $100k.

Alvin and I have spoken before; the Grand Prix Monaco 2.0 just doesn’t do it for me.

Okay. Do you know what you want that it doesn't have? Granted it doesn't have the bling factor.

It needs to be Silver, and not IMO look like a round Sputnik. In addition, being in business for 20 years I haven’t received a single call of interest on Grand Prix Audio.

I think this would be perfect for the Clearaudio.

I would love one...

Ah, you gotta love the Analog rabbit hole.

Today, I also ordered an Airtight PC-1 Coda cartridge.

I’ll probably install this in my VPI HW-40 table.

How about a high end idler drive or direct drive with the tonearms of your choice? The Artisan Fidelity NGS is available in silver and weighs in at an imposing 250 pounds of billet goodness.
