It's definitely a special listening experience, but other than pure resolution, what the setup does is present the music almost JUST as the artist intended. Body, tone, textures, details are all fleshed out really. Very addictive and its not really about cost. It's about attaining proximity to the sound in one's head. I am sure ALL your music will come through! If you are ever around Southern California, you are welcome for a listen.

And I still think you need to go suspended sub chassis in the turntable department but that's just because I'm biased. Either way that really is some weak at the knee's equipment you have there.

The Helius Omega is DEFINITELY a winner. I am ordering a new black Helius Omega (Copper version) to go with the new table. The 2nd tonearm will be a Kuzma 4 Point. A third tonearm in a standalone pod will be the Schroder Reference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kuzma now that's my other favourite tonearm manufacturer, Can't fault your taste in tonearms. shaizada 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas³ Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 Any of you fine folks have any extra Grado bodies laying around you'd like to sell? As long as it fits a 8MZ stylus, I don't care which. The cheaper the better obviously, but we'll see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Professor Finn Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 Didn't really buy them but I just got the Sansui speakers from my grandparents, turns out they're a pair of SP-200 still in the original boxes. now I just need to get my Sansui 1000A Amp working and I'll be on my way to a pretty kickass setup.

Thomas³ Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 Just picked up a spare Grado cartridge from organ donor parts for $15. Will be grabbing a 8MZ stylus for it come next pay period. I didn't want to put it in my Green, just in case I had some issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even I'm weak in the knees this time around All items are on order and were finalized on July 12th. So let's see how long it all takes to get in and setup. 1) The EAR Discmaster. This is a dream level table for me... http://www.needledoctor.com/EAR-Disc-Master-Turntable 2) The EAR Acute 4 Transport and EAR Dac 4. Delivery in 4 ~ 6 weeks.http://www.earyoshino.com/Dac4/http://www.earyoshino.com/Acute4/ 3) Last and final upgrade, and the biggest one yet. The Marten Coltrane Tenor loudspeakers https://www.marten.se/coltrane/tenor.htm I've never made such large purchases in one shot in my life...so its a big one for me. I normally spread it all out, but just didn't do it this time. Long story behind why, but regardless...all three items ordered. Now the wait begins... Any updates?

The system is one with the artists intention with no electronic hinderance or interference. Tonal saturation, transient attacks, imaging cues, soundstage...its all rather meaningless at this point. U r lost in the music with zero fatigue, emerging refreshed and ready for whatever the world throws at you. Something more to be experienced rather than discussed on a forum I wish everyone can get their sonic nirvana...its a worthy chase and goal. vinyl addict 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but are the bank manager suicides it causes along the way worth it. And you know you haven't reached sonic nirvana really, it's one of those mythical unattainable things so give it a couple of months and something else shiny will catch your eye, you know I'm right. shaizada 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need for another month I just picked up another new turntable play with. It should arrive in a week or two: Redpoint Model D, Triplanar VII Tonearm, Ikeda IT-407CR1 12" version, another Helius Silver Ruby, Dynavector XV-1T cartridge, Transfiguration Orpheus L cartridge, HRS M3 Base and a Siltech Lake Compass tonearm cable. And its an interesting color to boot! Right now, I don't care much for the color, but it might grow on me when I get it. If not, I'll take it to a local shop and get it some nice automotive color. Maybe a white or grey or black...might be fun! Edited August 3, 2016 by shaizada vinyl addict 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allenh Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 I can hear your bank manager ascending the stairs to the roof now That looks to be anodized rather then painted but my wife would love it, purple is her colour of choice. And another Helius? And those Ikeda arms are a work of art as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinyl addict Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Yes, that is anodized, but that is easily removed if you wanted to have the parts professionally painted. shaizada 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tibbz Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Bought my first record player a few weeks ago: Technics SL-1200Mk2 Unfortunately it's only hooked up to some old Technics home hi-fi amp/eq and speakers, but it sounds decent enough to me for now vinyl addict 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
