Tell your wife you have to go to italy for a business trip to meet new big customers
She gives visa to you immediately
Gian my friend. Two weeks ago I was about to visit Mr.T to listen to his Vox Olympian and WAMM. He is only fifteen minutes from my place. My wife asked me why I had to go listen. Then she said "Go teach your son how to fly a kite." Gone my audio social life.

Ciao,
Tang

Dear Tang,

This post triggered the forum’s Random Offense Neutralisation (“RON”) software. The RON system wonders why your wife cannot teach your son to fly a kite? The system is reporting that it is sexist for your wife to imply that teaching your son to fly a kite is the father’s responsibility.

The RON system advises re-engagement on this issue, and recommends immediate rescheduling of the Mr. T visit.

While Tang's wife is teaching their son how to fly a kite, Tang can teach the cleaner how not to destroy a stylus.

Back to the thread. This is one gorgeous tt. Very tastefully design. So the T34 has two versions: one with arm on plinth and one with isolated arm base. How is the resolution in comparison to the Techdas.

Dear Tang,

I congratulate you. Longtime ago I also thought my children how to fly - and how to build, BTW - a kite. Wonderful moments that are really much more precious than any stereo listening.

Tang Mr. T is only 15 mins away. You can fly the kite and visit Mr. T with your son too. He can build the kite there while you are listening to the stereo. Give him an ice cream and tell him not to tell his mother part of the story.

Its was a bit of a puzzle why almost no one addressed the subject... but i guess its not that interesting like the AS2000 or other around. :rolleyes:
thank you Tang for your sensitivity! it was very much appreciates.

the T34 is indeed playing wonderful! with the Ikeda 407 and the Sumile i was properly decided to fit on. as i said, the sound is very big and Lush!
the TT is build extremely well! and its operation is very smooth and quiet!
something i was afraid to not being so possible due to the fact its Idler based.
if i must compare it to the TD AF3... i will say simply that one is "vintage" and the later is "modern".
I will probably will choose the Italian for some 50th Jazz records or classic rock, and the AF for my Classical records due to his HIGH FI abilities to preform a greater separation and overall full rang and impact.
the T34 is so smooth sounding, its never in the way of the music per se' its just deliver the good with its own color and character. i think also the IKEDA (or SAEC if to touch some of the issues some friends were referring in here) is a good match to continue the Torqueo house sound.
all is great and very enjoyable but i cant wait my AF3P will arrive! i have two arms and a bunch of cart's waiting for months now to his arrival!

I take away quite a lot by the term "lush" being used for the Torqueo.

Oh, just that "lush" to me signifies warm and liquid. But this could be a characteristic that imposes itself from one lp to the next. Like the quality "sweet".

It's instructive you feel the AF3 maybe better for classical, my guess is it's probably more resolving at microdynamic level, nuanced and neutral.

Byrd, I run a rim drive based on the Lenco L70, so have some idea on how the Torqueo might sound. I've actually modded it heavily so that it's not characterised only as lush, but digs a bit deeper, and is less characterful as of itself, able to differentiate better from one recording to the next.

At Gian's with the Lyra atlas SL into the CH the Torqeo was not lush. It had details, loads of stage, bass and slam.

So you liked it a lot? That little summary is pretty much everything you want from a component, esp a source.
