I have just now replaced a wilson benesch full circle plus MC phono preamp (both together some 5000 usd new) with a vintage Pioneer pl 707 direct drive tuner, MM pickup and an vintage Philips studio preamp with inbuilt MM phono for somewhat less than 1000 usd. I completely amazed how nice, beautiful, warm, soft harmonic flow of music and at the same time dynamic sound with nice 3D soundstage I m getting from this inexpensive setup. Wilson Benesch with its ply mc and the mc phono together provided a more closer sound to my digital rig, with somewhat warmer tone. Now, this set up is just so much above my digital sound, I really feel the human touch in the flow of music that since days I do not listen digital at all. Please take into account that I only listen classical music.
What makes for a GOOD turntable.
Why is it my Music Hall MMF5 has a project tonearm and why is it the Project 9.1's motor isnt attached to the TT platter isnt that an accident waiting to happen? And why are there some mnay different opinions about whats right and whats wrong?
Basically high audio is a hobby where you can waste alot of hard earned money when all some people want to good solid equipment.
I am determined to find the truth what really makes a GOOD TT? I dont need the latest and greatest because one the prices are insane and your not even paying for the quality of the TT your paying the engineers salary who stayed up late thinking of the next big time under pressure from the marketing team.
So with that said what makes a GOOD TT. And please no suggestions over say $2500 cause that i just dont agree with.
