Is your second arm attached using the Timestep attachment? Easy to set up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kensell21 Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 Is your second arm attached using the Timestep attachment? Easy to set up? Yes to both.. Took about 1/2 an hour to do it, including mounting the arm.. Timestep have made it easy to do (even for me) including easy to follow instructions and tools.. little bit more to mount the cart and align it..

Kensell21 Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 Me too. [mention=106433]Kensell21[/mention] love how the 401 is sunk into the plinth - did you do that (was that cheeky's 401) ? The Garrard originally came from him, but since then has gone to Lovetube a couple of times for a service and recently for the new plinth when I purchased a different arm..

mwhouston Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 I bought my Rega Planar 3 mid to late 80s and it has been a fantastic and dependable perfrormer right from day one. Back then they were 1100 or so dollars. Not cheap when you consider your wage back then but the best thing I could have done. I had a Leak and a JH formula 4 before this. I had been eyeing off the Tehnics 1200xx which was a lot dear than the Rega rp3 I bought. Now with the RB330 arm I'm vey happy. Using the same cart - Ortofon Rondo Blue - the sound is as described in reviews. It is more clinical, leaner, instruments better etched. The second I played the first LP you could hear the diference. I paid less for this TT then my original Rega. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is amazing that two tables 35 years old sound so great but no more tables for me. seriously thou, I have 6 bloody turntables and only physically enough room for 4 of them. Pioneer PLX-1000 I am going to set up in daughters room. but, Pioneer Exclusive P10 will probably need to be sold and go to good home that can enjoy this wonderful table. cheers Edited April 13, 2017 by metal beat 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aussievintage Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 (edited) Here's an unusual table. Nice big idler ex-radio station. Brand on it is Peak. I believe they were a Japanese company. It's probably the table I use most. Edited April 15, 2017 by aussievintage 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwhouston Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 @rossb real nice. Can't ever see myself with two tone arms. Two (really three) TT I have. Two with removable headshells which are MM only TTs. My my new Rega rp3 is MC only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
