I posted because I have the 64x, mounted on original Pink Triangle.
But they both sit languishing on sidelines for several years and
I'm contemplating to keep or sell. I miss playing records but am
happy to spin cds for now and not sure if I'll ever get off my ass
and dust off the Pink and all my records .
chakster...it's definitely the 64x,black, and marked "silver inside
leads " on the barrel. I bought the Pink Triangle for $150 locally in Hicksville LI back in the days when you could find stuff in Newsday classifieds almost everyday.
The guy I bought it from kept his arm but hooked
me up to another guy for the Fidelity Research, for another $150
I think,and Grado cart. for $100. Not that I know a whole lot more
now,but I didn't really know a thing then, but got lucky with everything
I bought ,all used. I had bought a pair of Quad 57s(also via Newsday) from a guy
in East Meadow who turns out to be Mr.Tennis here on Agon,Roy
Harris,who also wrote for Audiophilia ,and used to occasionally
write letters to The Absolute Sound ,strongly opinionated letters
that made an impression on me as a newbie. Anyway,I digress.
The insertion of the Pink Triangle w/ FR arm made a big splash
and set me up for great music on the Quads. Long story later, Quads
long gone and belt not holding on to turntable,I dropped out for
awhile until getting started with cds. And that's where I'm at now.
I think if I could wake up tomorrow and my turntable would be all
set up like a good dream I'd be playing those lps again, so maybe
this dialog will inspire me . Glad to hear your responses.....
