Spinn it all the way New update to my reference Mono & Stereo turntable. Now whole sub chassis is 'floating' on three magnetic absorbers - elevators from Alto Extremo. I experimented before with Alto Extremo on motor and found the results outstanding in dealing with noise and resonaces. There is also newly added black sub chassis, that it's filled with either mechanical balls or quartz sand. I'm still experimenting with the materials. Under everything sits CA Electronic CA BASE RFI and damping plate. Last night first listening was very positive... With upcoming vinyl promos for testing this brings my enthusiasm to the max :).

The compact, Swiss-made Thales TTT turntable exudes a subtle, soothing beauty and refinement. The Simplicity tangential pivoted tonearm complements the 'table's "refined to the essentials" design and together they create a vinyl playback system that seems destined to produce great sound, though I really didn't get a chance to listen The battery powered 'table's 100 parts are all manufactured in Thales's own workshop and assembled by a team of experts including a trained watch-maker. The workings of the dual tube arm are best described in a full review. When Mr. first page: 1

I found Mr. Daniel Schuch exhibiting his girder-like tone arm on the floor of one of the big main halls. As a group of fascinated Japanese audiophiles looked on, Schuch demonstrated the workings of his pivoted tangential-tracking tonearm, which he modestly characterizes as "The perfect pick-up arm." The photo fails to clearly show the string that goes around the pivoted head shell and extends to and around the circular wheel at the back of the arm. first page: 1

The Hartvig TT Signature turntable features a 30 pound platter of aluminum and acrylic and a hardened steel bearing shaft with an aluminum base, plus a precision honed bronze bushing with a ceramic ball and Teflon thrust pad. The motor is an electronically regulated brushless DC type.The armboard is of acrylic with an eccentric aluminum base. The outboard motor runs off of a handsomely packaged battery pack. As with the Da Vinci, the attraction here is more implementation than design innovation. Imported to America by AA Audio imports. first page: 1

Before I get to the picture above, I'll make a few closing remarks abut my time in Munich. I went to this show on Stereophile's invitation, and for the most part my time at the show was spent listening to the big rigs for sound that really turned me on. So I didn't spend as much time looking for headphone gear as I would otherwise have done. It was quite a refreshing break from my normal show routine, and I very much enjoyed writing my piece for Stereophile. Show Promo Image A couple of closing thoughts...and then something unexpected.
