So I am thinking of spinning up my vinyl rig. It has been sitting for almost 15 years (!).
I have a Well Tempered Reference, which I had tweaked over time to perform way above the general performance. What's nice is that apart from replacing the belt, and checking silicone in bearing, I don't think I need to do much to get it going. All the silicone looks to be the same viscosity it was, I don't think it ages much.
But I am wondering about the Zyx Airy 3 SB, it was probably halfway through its life when I mothballed it. As I remember it, it does not have a rubber connector to the cantilever (which was one of the selling points for me), so that may not be a problem. Is that true?? Any other potential problems apart from cleaning up connections and checking alignment???
Trying to keep costs low as I dip my toe back in. I will need a good phono stage as well.
I have become very interested in the Hoblo Mk II as an end game table, but would need several iterations before I get there.
