Totally different sound to the Rotel.

Ooh, TT porn*man_in_love* . Looks, and undoubtedly sounds, gorgeous. You'll have to fill us in on what it sounds like.

TT porn has its moments of course but it's still not a patch on some generic digital system... ;-)

Very, very nice but - visually - that hideous rack really has to go (along with the rat's nest of wiring visible behind it).

Some ideas ...

Show me a CD player that looks as exquisite as this baby. Of course it is bested by my Pioneer*biggrin*

Looks really good in the flesh. I like it.

As for the cables, I'll sort them out when I go 4k. Personally, I don't even notice them. I'm far too busy enjoying that turntable. ;-)

Well, the story so far goes a little something like this.

first impressions were a little confusing, all the constituent parts were there, but somehow not gelling , I had the highs, lows and mids.. But never at the same time.

id checked all the set-up and it was all connected correctly. I had even considered putting my nagaoka on it to see if that made a difference, in the end, patience is paying off. I've probably put 20 hours on the cart, and things are starting to liven up.

The balance is now spot on, perfect for long listening sessions. No scratchy treble, or boomy bass, just a beautifully presented sound with loads of separation. I'm completely smitten.

oh, and it looks stunning. Which helps.

It sure does *good*. Good news about the cartridge bedding-in, I'm sure it's just gonna get better and better*acute*

Got around 30 hours on the turntable and cart, and it just keeps on getting better. I added a tacima mains conditioner today, which has seemingly improved speed accuracy, or maybe it's just running in! Either way, it is sounding better than ever. Punchy, bassy, accurate, everything is spot on.

A total bargain.

Used a cable tidy, which has helped a little.
