Thank you, I'm enjoying the synergy of the two immenselyA great turntable with one of the best cartridges EVER.
Welcome to AK! Very nice table, I used to have a 145mkii looked exactly the same as yours it was a great table.heres my thorens TD 160 B MK 2, had to have it wall mounted as these TT can be vulnerable to footfalls .
I don't see a problem. But I have at least a dozen so what do I know!I have three times more turntables than ears. Am I normal?
Welcome to AK, sounds like you have a nice assortment of gear, we at AK are more of a visual group so would be nice to see some pictures of that great gear you haveFor me it's
Thorens TD 124 w slate armboard and an SME 3009 Type II with Shure cartridge and SAS stylus ***
Rek O Kut B12H with Grado Lab Series wooden tonearm Grado Blue cartridge ***
Rek O Kut B12 with Grado Lab Series wooden Tonearm Pickering V15
Rek O Kut L37 with Calrad SV 16 Tonearm and a GE Golden Treasure cartridge
Rek O Kut L34 with ROK tonearm and Golden Treasure Cartridge.
Rek O Kut B12H with custom baltic birch plinth and 16" micropoise tonearm.
*** these two are my go to tables. Both are restored and are just wonderful. The Slate armboard is acoustically dead and as for the ROK it's in a factory plinth and it's silent. For an idler ROK that's saying something. The Thorens is connected to my Mc C20 Mc240 and a pair of Altec 604c's in custom build altec 620 cabinets. The ROK is connected to a HK Citation I, a VTA 70 amp (kit) and another pair of Altec 604c's in 606 corner cabinets
Cool you finally got what you wanted, that's always a blessing, enjoy.new to me, sl1200View attachment 994340 View attachment 994341 mk5,
