All this talk of digital is making me violently ill!!

We need some real hi-fi porn - TURNTABLES !!  :P

Here's something I picked up a little while ago that I forgot about, quite a rare set up in Australia.  Its very nice actually.

The SOTA Sapphire TT with uber rare ZITA tonearm and Talismans MC cartridge.



stevenvalve:
Nice, The last turntable I owned was a black Sota Cosmos vacuum, a Graham arm, and lyra cartridge, it was so nice sounding.  I loved going to the second hand record fairs, often paying a few bucks for a vintage USA RCA Living stereo shaded dog S1 pressing, or a Mercury Classical, Back then they where often bringing $1000 for the best copys.

Tuyen:
Looks cool!

No denying turntable setups can look and sound amazing. Thing is that there are so many different combos and factors involved in every setup, I found it pretty hard to get any useful discussion with anyone else on online forums, as I guess just too many variables that can all greatly affect the sound at play.

Then again, same with most things hifi really.

Showcase/photo threads always good though! :D

ozmillsy:
I was lamenting the other day what a bottomless pit of money,  vinyl rigs can amount to.  And as you say T,  there seams like there is an infinite amount of variables in play,  and setup plays a big role too.   It's not straight forward.

The stuff that has cost me money (and over multiple upgrades, yada yada);
Cartridge  (raw 103r cart plus mod (wooden body))
Tonearm  (including tonearm wiring or cabling)
Deck 
Isolation platform
MC->MM Step Up
MM Phono Stage

A cool pic I like,,,,,,




Tuyen:
