Thorens & Goldmund Reference Turntables - European Expressions of the Art of Beyond
No hard feelings on the Transrotor. I own two. The Iron which I redid for two tonearms 9 and 12 inches. And I own the Quintessence. It doesn’t bother me, that the speed adjustment isn’t electronically regulated and adjustable. Once it is done it is done. The sound of a table is a difficult...- Anerol

Thorens & Goldmund Reference Turntables - European Expressions of the Art of Beyond
Sorry but YES. These are the actual pictures from the guy who sold it to me. This table is a giant and does not fit naturally on any standard rack. I use the table on the top shelf o& my rack but it eats up the whole space you need normally for two turntables.- Anerol

Thorens & Goldmund Reference Turntables - European Expressions of the Art of Beyond
Talking of super turntables from a European perspective you can’t ignore Transrotor. These are some pictures of my Transrotor Quintessence. It was designed a bit later than the Thorens Reference. Not sure at all if it was ever exported to the US. Has anyone seen one on your side of the pond...- Anerol

Thorens & Goldmund Reference Turntables - European Expressions of the Art of Beyond
I have a question to the Thorens Reference owners among you. Did you ever try a hard mat on this table while replacing the felt mat it comes with? What was your experienc?- Anerol

Thorens & Goldmund Reference Turntables - European Expressions of the Art of Beyond
All true and now the Thorens story got another twist. The company was again bought by a German guy and moved back to the Cologne area now almost neighbouring with Transrotor in Bergisch Gladbach (also known as turntable valley). The company launched a new version of the famous Thorens TD 160...- Anerol

Amati Homage help
Hi John, being a former AmatI Homage owner I am just curious if your problem was resolved. Given the very low bass they deliver I wouldn’t be surprised if the lower woofer just transmits the very low frequencies.- Anerol

"New" Pair of Amati Homage
How well can I understand you. I have had these speakers years ago and was extremely happy with them. Than we moved and they had to play in a smaller room. A catastrophy in acoustical terms. What I loved about them was their vividness as you describe them. And of course their looks. The bass...- Anerol

Burmester 948-
I know this thread is quite for a long time. Anyway, when I spoke to Burmester in Berlin they advised to connect power amplifiers to free wall sockets to avoid power limitations. I did and was quite pleased with the results. The elimination of DC on the grid still works this way. Result is less...- Anerol

Sonus Faber Electa Amator I & II
Well, let me throw in my 50 cents. First I came across the Electa Amator I I bought it for a friend. This was like 15 years ago or so. I regretted it in as much as I didn't keep them for me. In the interim I have owned the Amati Homage and the Guarneri Homage. I regret that I don't have...- Anerol

Fellow Burmester owners on WBF?
Hello everybody who may be reading this eventually, here comes my Burmie story. Grown up in Germany from 1964 onwards I must have been reading my first HiFi journals when the Burmester 808 started to show up. At this spoint in time I was happy with my beloved ReVox A720 (a preceiver, no one...- Anerol

Italian artistry and world class sound...the world of Sonus Faber
I am not surprised. In the entire Sonus Faber range only the Extrema and the Electa Amator I used the Esotar tweeter. Thereafter this tweeter was either too expensive or no longer avaiable. The Guarneri Homage uses the D 28, a nice tweeter but not the same class as the Esotar. The D 28, by the...- Anerol

Italian artistry and world class sound...the world of Sonus Faber
I think here that the discussion gets very interesting. As you can re-read here above I started my Sonus Faber journey with the Amati Homage and ended up with the Minima FM2 going by the Guarneri Homage. Two things seem relevant to me here: Small Speakers Small two way designs have very...- Anerol

Italian artistry and world class sound...the world of Sonus Faber
Yes, me too I am a Sonus Faber fan. Amati Homage, Guarneri Homage and Minima, in that order. May sound strange but the smaller they get, the better they are. I once organised a pair of original Electa Amators for a friend. Yes, the Esotar version. I still regret I never owned them myself. They...- Anerol
