Personal turntable/cartridge evolution

Cmk.....the Scheu sure looks impressive. Is it a new model? What was you decision for dumping the Kuzma and going with the Scheu?

CMK....WOW...I am happy for you! I am also interested in upgrading my TT and arm. I am leaning toward the Galibrier Glavia and a Schroder Ref arm. However, the Schroder may take longer then a year to get. So I am leaning towards a Tri-Planer. I know quite a few here (douddeacon) speaks very favorably about the Tri. Did you have to wait long for the mod 2 Schroder?
Did you ever hear a Galibrier??? As to this new model #2 is the belt a string or a flat belt? Doug has commented that the flat belt made a BIG improvement over the original thin belt on his Teres. Now you have me thinking about possibly a Scheu?

Sorry all for derailing this thread....I should add my comments on my TT/arm evolution (if I can remember!)!

Started with a Garrard (in the early 70's so I don't recall the model) and Shure 3
Then went on to...
dual 1219
Phillips 212
Thorens 125 (great)
then the Linn for many , many years and with all the significant upgrades (lingo was the best)
and now the VPI Aries with 10.5 arm (see my system)

Best of all?? I think...VPI-Linn?
Best arm? Not sure
Best cartridge....Decca Gold...1978-79!!!!!!!!!!

Update!

Now....the T.W. Raven AC/Tri-Planer Vll arm/Dynavector VS-1....absolutely great with a capitol "G".
