Anyone with experience of these? Seen one for sale and they look pretty cool. Not seen anything mentioned on here for ages.

Which model have you seen?
Their tonearm was no slouch either...
P.S.: Tom Evans has one as part of his test set-up.

Can't remember. It was for sale at a hi-fi shop who specialise in vintage gear - certainly wasn't a 'Rock'. But it had a funny arm at the front, similar to this. They were asking £675 IIRC.

Yup. It is now the weakest link in the hi-fi chain. I seem to be playing more vinyl these days than CDs.

Vinyl 99% of the time for me

Why don't you go for a Clearaudio Concept ?

CJSF said:The Rock iFor has a link to is the same spec., as mine was. Minimalist it was, frankly I am interested in sound, a Rock of that spec., will blow you socks off 'in the nicest posible way' . . . provided the matching kit is 'up to' it! My system was: Rogers LS35a on Foundation Designer Stands, EAR 509 Mono Blocks, Foundation PreAmp, + TT as described earlier. The studio was a bit special too, perfect dimentions and appropriatly damped.
Cables played a very important part, I still use the same interconects and speaker cables in my present system, I have found nothing better, different yes but not better.
Putting a 'classic TT' into an existing system may not work streight off, requires a lot of faith in ones own assesment and if required, what to tweak and/or what to change with no garentes?
Despite this I would do it but thats a bit steep on price, although they do say 'talk to us' . . . toung in cheak?

Thanks. But a grand for a 25-30 years old turntable is a little concerning. The one I looked at was around the £600 - even that price is pushing the envelope for a vintage turntable..
