Frantz - I sold my FM Acoustics and bought it. It's that good! Fully loaded with MM, MC, and ADC it is north of $20k.
If you're going with Burmester, the Ph100 also comes with a killer ADC to do the digital conversion....... most members of our audio club couldn't reliably tell the difference between analog and digital in that exercise.
Frantz,
A link you might find interesting:
http://coltrane.music.mcgill.ca/MAQ/experiments
go to the bottom of the page and follow the link on the word "paper" which will download a .pdf paper on some of their findings.
LP digitization takes me forever. I can do maybe 3 in a day. Probably you will want to convert selected LPs but I agree with the other posts - enjoy your new rig.
Hi
I thank ll the members for their gracious advice. The choice is made TT is to be a Technics SP-10 , PLinth will be constructed wih the help of a Mechanical Engineer friend.. Likely sandwiched material, Arm to be SME Series IV.. Cartridge don't know yet, Phono Stage likely Burmester not the PH-100 but the one that comes for the Preamps (O11 or OO7 or the surprisingly good 935) ...
Now I am looking for a sane even DIY record cleaning machine. must be way under $500.. Advice, Suggestions. I am also open on a good Cart for around $500 plus or minus 200 ..Suggestions are welcomed. Also on Record preserving sleeves and cartridge cleaning
I will look for a Vibraplane online and dress i nicely within some kind of furniture ...
For cartridge under $500 - look at the Denon 103 and its variants. Record cleaning maching - I like the Nitty Gritty and there is a manual model under $500.
+1Grado Reference Platinum or Dynavector 10x5....two solid choices under $500.
