I don't know of a TT that can play 5 cartridges at the same time. *biggrin*chebby said:I want 5 cartridges demo'd on the same TT I have now (but 5 of them at once so I can do intantaneous comparisons).
This does 4...jjbomber said:I don't know of a TT that can play 5 cartridges at the same time. *biggrin*chebby said:I want 5 cartridges demo'd on the same TT I have now (but 5 of them at once so I can do intantaneous comparisons).
Definitely not a machine for spinning a few records after a night in ther pub...davedotco said:But we did once have a Garrard 401 with 3 SME 3009 arms with detatchable headshells.
One of my regulars was a bit of a clubber, brought his player in one morning with the entire cantilever missing from his cartridge.Gazzip said:Definitely not a machine for spinning a few records after a night in ther pub...davedotco said:But we did once have a Garrard 401 with 3 SME 3009 arms with detatchable headshells.
I know one that can handle four, admittedly not all at once.jjbomber said:I don't know of a TT that can play 5 cartridges at the same time. *biggrin*chebby said:I want 5 cartridges demo'd on the same TT I have now (but 5 of them at once so I can do intantaneous comparisons).
And he scratches with that sort of cartridge?? The guys obviously a very witch rat .... ;-)davedotco said:One of my regulars was a bit of a clubber, brought his player in one morning with the entire cantilever missing from his cartridge.Gazzip said:Definitely not a machine for spinning a few records after a night in ther pub...davedotco said:But we did once have a Garrard 401 with 3 SME 3009 arms with detatchable headshells.
Admitted that he had just got in from a night out and had to try a bit of 'scratching' for himself. His player was one of our favourites at the time, a Xerxes in piano black, Series V arm and the wonderful Kiseki Purple Heart Saphire.
The bill was around £600 for an exchange PHS, a hell of a lot less than the Koetsu Red he had been contemplating.
Just got a bit carried away. Can't remember what electronics he had but definitely SF Electa Amator speakers. City boy, really nice chap.Al ears said:And he scratches with that sort of cartridge??

Yes it's Julien, I remember I bought a Naim CDX2 off him about 5 years ago and when it arrived it didn't work, so he drove all the way up from Brighton to Bromley with a new machine.QuestForThe13thNote said:is that Julian in brighton macspur. Looks a bit like Donald Sutherland. He is a nice guy and I have had a great relationship with him, and the other two guys there , although don't tend to find their prices fantastic unfortunately.Macspur said:It's a bit of a generalisation to say you can't trust dealers... like all business's there's good and bad. The knack is to find the ones you like, cultivate and good relationship if you can and stick with them.
When I first started seriously buying HiFi I found a dealer in Brighton, he knew I was serious and passionate about the hobby, bought from his on a regular basis and it was never a bother if I wanted to listen to something and didn't end up buying... that store no longer exists in name, it was taken over by Audio T and the same guy is still there and I know if I were to pop in tomorrow and asked to hear something, it wouldn't be a problem.
I tend to now just deal with Guildford Audio and Audio Emotion... not particularly local, but again nothing is too much trouble for them.

Also reminds me of this guy does Julian https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Thewlis
the employee guy at Guildford audio is a bit lazy and was the one who couldn't even be bothered to put a rigged up system on. They are real cash grabbers there and not for me. The two guys at audio t Southampton are very good and friendly and like Julian, give you time. I avoid future audio in east grinstead, terrible service and give you the run around. Chasing and chasing and chasing. No way.
