Er, sorry about the last post - now back to Serge - what's on your short (or long) list for a TT? This one's a vicarious thrill for me, but your take on things I'm sure will help me listen better when I'm spinning vinyl.

Well, I would love to spend the day with one of those $100K + TT's. I'll have to make to CES someday- no shop here carries anything in 6 figure range for vinyl.

With analog, from what I've been told by a very knowledgeable and experienced source, it is the cartridge and the phono preamp that makes a huge difference. The table and tonearm is what "supports" the cartridge and the phono stage is what will determine how colored or uncolored the signal will be overall. If you have adequate mass, stable and precise drive due to high platter mass or high torque, precise motor, adequate plinth/bearing/platter design that does not allow for much external or internal vibrations to spoil the fragile tracking of the stylus and signal being generated from the grooves modulating it, you are 95% there... The rest is up to your cartridge and the tonearm's job is to allow that cartridge to extract all the information from the grooves without interfering with it. One can go all out with this stuff and there is nothing wrong with that but of course the law of diminishing returns will set in steep after you cross the threshold of the fine tables such as the ones we talked about so far. |

Thanks Serge! When it comes to vinyl I tend to vacillate and, my MCD500 didn't help. I have about a 150 LPs that sometimes demand equal billing. I bought my Basis as an experiment to see if there was still any interest. I'm still not sure if I want to commit to it. The spud in me sure likes the MS750.

I've heard what some really good TT's can sound like and to my ears, that's really the way to listen to music when in the critical listening mode. I have a feeling the CDs will become more of a background listening material for me. We'll see how it turns out. |
