AccuTidal Posted April 18, 2017 Author Share Posted April 18, 2017 Some progress were made.... I've pick up the Accuphase AC-5, this is truly gobsmacked.... such a beautiful tonality and yet does not seem to compromise precision/resolutions/timing/dynamic.. but made them better! With the addition Oyaide weight..., it appears BASS is better still! One must had the fault perception of "Japanese ****!"!! To me, they are very thorough and put every attention to details...! Super packaging simply for a record weight!! Have I mentioned the AC-5 packaging? Anyway..., now with the proper setting up (Thanks to @Tasso), this Denon TT, and the right Cartridge.., OMG..., it sounds pretty amazing! I was looking into a Kronos full Sparta and was about to bite the bullet..., not anymore it seems! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have narrowed down to two most affordable ones, apparently it can cost up to $400 each!! https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/272586592566 https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/162315193537 Any other recommendations would be great! Btw - I found the Denon DL-103 a little bit bland to my taste. Had previously tried the koetsu cart with Consonance and liked the tonality of this cart much! Others recommended the Lyra, which is $7k to $9k..., . Rocky500 in the above said Dynavector, which is more affordable, I guess?! So many choices..., and I thought Digital was complicated enough?!! You found the DL103 @ $300 a little bland? You much prefer the Koetsu @ $7500? Surprising......... PS: Set up properly on the right arm, the DL103 is IMO far from bland......

In case you haven't guessed it by now, the new "apprentice to the dark side of digital" is a man in big hurry. Watch this space for news of a new TT. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevoz Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 (edited) I had guessed that, yes! A very big hurry.......he'll be the 'sorcerer' soon enough and good luck to him! Can't deny I'm a tad envious...... Edited April 21, 2017 by stevoz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watch this space for news of a new TT. I would calling it as "progress"...., instead of impatient! Unfortunately - there is no Kronos Sparta coming...., afterall, I have spent big $$$$ for the Accuphase PS-1230.... RRP in AU is $20k+. Fortunately, this spending worths every penny....! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edd Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 I was fortunate to hear Chanh's set up this week. Fantastic sound. Interesting to hear both digital and analogue playing through his great system. Thanks Chanh. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
