Well, I'm about to come into a Shindo Monbrison (YAY!!!) and my present analog front end consists of:
Thorens TD-124 mki mounted in a multi-layered James Campbell Baltic birch plinth, SME 3012R 12" tonearm, and a retipped by Soundsmith Denon DL-103 in a Uwe African ebony body Thorens TD-124 mkii with a Ortofon RMG 212 tonearm & an Ortofon 90th Anniversary SPU. Presently in a stock plinth so this needs to be optimized. Garrard 301 grease bearing with a soon to arrive SME 3012 Series II. I'll probably move the 90th Anniversary SPU to this TT. Linn LP-12 with a Ittok VII tonearm, Lingo I power supply, Koetsu Urushi Vermillion cartridge and a Woodsong Audio cocobola plinth Linn LP-12 with an Ittok VII tonearm and Shelter 90x cartridge Lenco L75 with a Mirko plinth and his upgraded Lenco bearing. I plan to acquire a Schick 12" tonearm to rotate between the Lenco and the Garrard. Auditorium 23 SUT Yes, it's a sickness. I hope I'm never cured... Happy Listening! |

Frankly at first I thought it a little lacking in bass, but after some playing time and setting the crossovers to level on the Tannoys, it seems to be just right. I may try it with my Montille.

OT Garrard digression...

If you have a mk1, you may see a dimple in the base of the spindle which should not be there. Either way, if you have the mk1, I would suggest replacement with the Exact bearing. FWIW - I have swapped out the Kokomo for the exact, and it is not quite as nice but better than the stock bearings. I have read the Exact is better than the Mk2 version, as the plastic disc sucks life out. BTW - meant to say, lovely deck!! Last edited by gortnipper; 04-16-2013 at 05:33 PM. |

With a sickness like that, who needs a cure??
The treatment is 7-12" diameter, and ~180gm. |
