To be honest, that thing could sound like the voice of God saying I'm going to heaven, but still I wouldn't care.

    After many, many years with BAT/Avid/SME YG Acoustics systems this is what my wife and I have spent the last year building for listening to records through. VPI HR-X w/12.7 arm, and VPI ADS power supp

    The horror, the horror. Basically this is the final Erno Borbely design. It is a current mode phono stage, where the cartridge looks into close to zero impedance. First stage with parallel J40/K170, a

God backed up Prince who backed up the creation of this table ;)  Its all connected to the one source.  Black, silver, chrome audio gear was just not getting me on to the holy path.  I hear heaven is painted purple as of April 21, 2016.

Unholy carp, it's so purple!  And what the hell does a non-golden-eared audiophile equipment reviewer need with 3 tonearms on the same turntable for, anyway?

Its really a polarizing color, isn't it?!  First day I saw it, I was like no way.  Few hours later, looking at the pictures again, I was beginning to mellow out towards the color and actually starting to think how interesting it is.  Then I started feeling it is really cool...I mean...a PURPLE DAMN TURNTABLE.  When do you EVER see that on THAT level of table?

I will reserve judgement till I get it in my hands.  If I don't like it, I have a few guys ready to it on as a project and change it to any color I can dream of.  

The table comes with two arm pods and two arms that can be used.  One mono, one stereo is what I am thinking.  The third arm I will load up on my Townshend Rock 7 most likely.

What do the Triplanar arms go for these days on the gently used market?

Between $4k ~ $4.5k.

Some morning Beethoven

Had to run it through the vpi cleaner, but cleared up nicely.

Comparing with the 1963 cycle (the other was from the 1977 recordings).

I am keeping the 63, love the pacing, overall good sonics.

Day could get away from me if I am not careful.

Saint-Saëns symphony #3 'organ'.

Any recs for a decent cheap phono stage? DIY fine as well.

Cheap will mean opamps. I would suggest Hagerman's stuff then: the Bugle2

Seems to not be finished...

What are thoughts on RJM's stuff on diyaudio, particularly the phonoclone?

Yeah, that's what the "Y" part is all about :)

I recently upgraded from my early 70s Hitachi Linn clone to a Micro-Seiki DD-35.  Using the same Sumiko Pearl cart.  It's a big upgrade.  I bought my first Music Matters 45 (Cape Verdean Blues), and it sounds amazing!
