How do you judge?

Yep,I think you’re right, Dave, I’ve always been kinda tuned into that sort of sound, I am enjoying a more “Everyman” presentation these days, but sources are still more leading edge. Of course I might hear more good things in the P6 on a proper dem, but it does sound like it needs a bit of livening up to me.

I think it was a great video to post btw.

You know way more than me about these, Dave. Taking NA and fletcher Audio as one, where does the sweet spot sit in terms of “good enough”without paying for tiny improvements. Any insight into the arms is even more valuable, especially uni pivots. I would have to have whatever I bought refinished, but I wouldn’t rule out picking one up if it was at a good price. I just don’t know enough to even contemplate it.

I might just park myself with the Ps-6750. It was pretty much as good as anything I’ve tried as long as I changed the mat. That gel thing everybody raves about was rubbish..

I had one but it was the worst mat I’ve ever used. It completely stole the bass on every deck I tried it with. I didn’t try a DD with it, but I did try LP12, Axis, Systemdek IIX, Xerxes and Pink Triangle PT1 and LPT. Universally dismal on the lot of them.

It did look pretty though, mine was a fetching shade of blue.

That's belt drive turntables for you. Strange things.

Now I think about it of all the decks I have heard only about 6 stand out as having it all.

2 of them were belt drives but they had been very heavily modified. One was an idler drive (Lenco) but modded so much it was unrecognisable. And the other 3 were all direct drive Technics decks. 2 heavily modded SL1210 and Ollie (Bigman's) SP10. Which I don't think is modded, just re-built.

All of them had got the arm and cartridge combination-thing totally sorted as well of course. This is why I can't be bothered with it anymore. You've got to be really dedicated to get a really good sound out of vinyl and I'm just not.

Now.......This may be ever so slightly controversial.

But screw all your MC cartridges.

I laugh at em, and the blinkered fools (hifi snobs) That suppose.....they are better than a humble MM cart simply because they cost more......wtf......Think about it......do you W#nk over SUTs...,!!!!

Do you actually know why a SUT may be required?

F#ck you.....

In motoring terms......Buy your £80000 Range Rover, but when you C#nts get stuck in the mud, don't ask jammy in his £8000 Suzuki Jimmy to bale your suckered asses oot.

Well I'm happy. Had the same SUT for over thirty years. Tonearm too. Had hundreds of carts of all types.

U bin on the beer Jammy? 

SUT........✋

Good......

Cause your heads up your arse.

Rearrange the following numbers...........2401.

Do you actually know what a SUT is, and why it was invented.

Go on give us a giggle.....🙈🙉🙊

No...no...my good fellow...carry on....carry on, i will only point and laugh.

Hope I'm not embarrassing you.

No probs old chap.

And I can't think of anything that will embarrass me any more than the stuff I've been caught doing in the past.

HaHa! Thumbs up!
