CS port...another contender or ??

[MCRU]

Agreed. Did you check out the turntable!
My friend tells me that it is far better than any other table that he has heard...and is apparently a serious alternative to the Tech Das Air Force one premium!

Its better than the TechDas I have heard both and have a TAT2 arriving tomorrow.

No pertinent data on your website or any usable information in any of the reviews i could find. What is the air pressure of the arm bearing ?

it's low flow, low pressure.

so dead quiet compressor, plus no air pulses to add noise.

not at this time. i know that CS Port the manufacturer is actively seeking one, so i do expect them to have one sooner, rather than later.

For potential USA customers, I certainly hope not. Just have a look at Accuphase prices vs Japan retail. Rip off

I would buy one from overseas while it is still possible.

Thank you for letting me know guys. I've always been interested in air bearing tables with air bearing tonearm. Does anyone have a contact for overseas retailer? Thanks again.

@MCRU How’s your Tat2?

New video seemingly comparing the TAT2 with SL-1000R. Listening starts at 9 min mark.

a taste of CS Port. video of the TAT2 compared to the Technics SL-1000R.......but commentary not in English. compare starts at the 9 minute mark. no idea if this was a fair fight, as the finer points are lost in translation.....which i why i call it a taste. in any case the SL1000R (with it's...

I heard the TAT2 is now called TAT2M2 and the platter is brass with nickel plating instead of stainless steel. I wonder if this is a cost cutting measure or simply tuning the sound further?

i searched for a reference to that model code "TAT2M2", and information about a different platter material for the TAT2. if what you say is true i have no idea about it.

do you have a link with information referencing that?

as far as conjecture about whether that idea of nickel plated brass (compared to stainless) being an indication of 'cost-cutting', i'm skeptical but lack the knowledge to interpret that in any particular way.

The French distributor just confirmed me that new platters are being issued for both turntables. The new ones are made of brass.

Sorry no link and I don’t think they updated their site yet.

I think in normal times SS is more expensive than brass. Maybe it’s even more so now? I also believe SS is more difficult (expensive?) to machine and finish. I’m no expert in this area either though.

However, maybe they simply found the nickel plated brass sounded better.
