Goldmund Reference Turntable ?

Hi Kevin, Was regarded as 'non plus ultra'in the eightys and is still striking. But the T3 (there are diff. versions)is very ,say, demanding. You will need much patience and skills for this tonearm. The price? A person offered one to me for 12.000 Euro 2 years ago. The TT is unique so there is no 'going price'. Search for the 'believers clubs'.
Regards,

Kevin,
I had one and liked it very much. If you have a TF3 with high numbers (over 2000) you will have no problems in setting up. What kind of cartridge will you mount?

The T3F Arm is always in movement, from the right side-to the middle-to the left side. The result is a smeared soundstage. T and inferior dynamic range. To find the right cartridge is a real task because the side force will destroy the cantilever. The carts are not made for this kind of "influence".
The table itself is better. Service for the T3F is stopped from Goldmund. They don't produce any parts for the T3F.

The Goldmund Reference TT is a great performer and very well manufactured (one of the few high priced audio tables where you actually SEE that the money you paid for it was at least partly re-invested in design and material) - the T-3(F) tonearm has several problems, some of them being design-inherent.
Go for the table - look for a different tonearm (unless you want to experience long and enduring pain ...... ).
Cheers,
D.
