Post a picture of your turntable

I like the o ring idea! I have the ATPL120.. how many O Rings do you have on your tonearm and is there a better spot to place them if I only put 1 or 2 on?

I PM I LUVanalogl and advised me to contact Arcorob or FrankSol for diameter of the O rings and how many. I was interested too as my PL-518X has about the same specs and S tone arm as a ST-1200 etc.

I Received this as a birthday gift 2 days ago.

Stanton STR8-80

Ummmm...this is just my opinion..

Is it me or does that arm on your Stanton have no offset?
The tracking error except for perhaps one spot on the record would be horrendous.

Please correct me if I am wrong or if I missed something.

Tried to slip that Kenny by us didn't you. :nono:

I notice you have the optional dust cover/disc, how about some back story on the TT,s acquisition.

Yes the optional dustcover disc and the outer record clamp ring.
Probably the first of its kind and inspired VPI record clamp ring many years later. I know VPI's head honcho/designer admired the L-07D's design features.
The L-07D's laminated platter also inspired VPI's platter for the TNT and others.

How I acquired it?

Long story short I traded from a gentleman in Hamilton whom I have made many purchases or trades over the last 10 years or more.
I learned he had it over a year ago when I went to pick up a pair of Acoustat Model 2's from him.
My jaw hit the floor when I saw it and he played it to demo the Acoustats.
He at the time said he may sell it so I scraped together the coin but when I told him I had cash to buy he decided to keep it.
So needless to say I was bummed out and spent the cash on something else.
Fast forward to this past early April...
I was inquiring regarding a Transcriptors he had for sale. He mentioned to me he may sell/trade a pair of Tannoy Westminsters he had and that I had seen.
I sent him a list of nice high-end components I would offer in trade.
He replied that all he was interested in was a few pieces, BUT he would trade the Kenny and the Transcriptors for them.
I said yes and here it is.
Sounds fabulous too but I have to wait for my arm to heal so I can play it again.I had only listened to a couple albums on it til now..

Actually I think that was the long story.

You're right. That's a DJ turntable that's designed for scratching, not for music listening.

It looks like a SL1200 (not the tone arm). I noticed the cart IS turned in the head shell :scratch2:

 

[majick47]

Not sure if an alignment like Stevenson etc will work with that Stanton tonearm. Agree it's probably best suited for "scratch" DJ duty.

It is a DJ deck but i do not scratch with it and it sounds very good. The tonearm is straight but there is a adjustment in the head.

My stealth table

Recently resurrected Linn LP12. Black Ash plinth, Basik Plus arm, Grado Statement cart, Hercules power supply, Trampolin base, new springs and bushings. A little more tweaking but an amazing table as it is.

and the not so stealthy Kenwood KD500 with the Mayware Formulae IV arm and Sonus Blue Gold cart.

Bought LNIB with all paperwork for arm and table.

Dude, IMHO, Im DJ and even I know that Craze Stanton cart is not the way to go. Those carts arent built like the old stantons and dont sound great. Plus that straight arm wont track right, especially when the cart cant be aimed properly to line up with the grooves. If you have any styrene 45s that could damage them.

But you got it as a gift, and you are enjoying the sound. When youre ready to upgrade, theres plenty of low cost options. Really, Im just glad youre listening to vinyl.

My Latest Acquisitions

My first Technics SL-Q3. Came equipped with a Shure V15 IV in great condition. Also, an SL-D2 and SL-D3. I had to use some deoxit on the pitch controls. All 3 sound great, but I must admit I like the quartz locked speed control on the SL-Q3.

My main turntable the pioneer PL-12D with a Shure M75B cartridge.
