DocRob Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 Since yesterday, I'm a bit distracted from modeling. After a four month odyssey, my new tonearm and cartridge for my good old Transrotor Fat Bob turntable arrived. The old setup sported a Transrotor modified Rega tonearm and an Audio Technica VM-760 moving magnet cartridge. A good combo, but I always had the feeling, it's a bit of a letdown for the Transrotor, especially the arm. Old setup with dust on the needle : The new setup, which I mounted and adjusted yesterday, has a Sorane SA 1.2 tonarm and a Pasemation PP-200 moving coil cartridge, booth oozing Japanese building and engineering perfection. The combination is a dreamtime on paper, which means by compliance and low frequency resistance and the first hearing sessions showed, it's also in reality. I'm blown away by the clarity and separation of instruments. It's not like jumping into hyperspace from the good old setup, but every aspect of music reproduction is a bit better, which makes the whole hearing experience completely leveled up. Some month ago, I also made an update with my phono pre-amp, substituting my good old Lehmann Black Cube with the Aurorasound Vida Prima. A quirky retro reminiscent device, which no wonder is also build by a Japanese producer. This also was a great step forward, leaving the slightly Teutonic sounding Lehmann behind in terms of musicality. Except the German build Transrotor, my entire phono setup is now Japanese equipped, and I'm no longer a searcher, but found my dream team for playing my precious vinyls.

Martinnfb Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 I would love to to see the speaker layout. Very long time ago as an electronics geek I use to have friends who were obsessing in similar fashion and was absolutely blown away by the clarity of sound that can be achieved by proper equipment and space. One of my friends had an actual room dedicated to sound, sort of like a private studio in his tiny apartment. Technological madness 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It adds a new world of challenges to modelling . Buying is only one little part of the journey. Cheers Rob 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Speakers are Vienna Acoustics Beethoven Grand. I own them since my Berlin days and they are a statement to musicality. The three bass cone layout guarantees a tight and fast bass of the kind I like it. Not seen on the pic is another important hearing equipment, two Eames Lounge Chairs, which keep long hearing sessions comfortable, in fact, they are like an exo-skeleton. My setup is pure stereo, no room-dang-Dolby-server stuff. We make concessions to good sounding equipment, but the room has to be liveable at least. No egg cartons on the wall .

Gotta pay to have a special FFL and prove you need it for business or military or LE if you want post ‘86. So pre ‘86 is like ocean front property. Only so much made and prices climb constantly. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TJTX Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 I've been super busy and missed visiting with everyone here! I'm looking forward to being back to building in the next few years hopefully. In the meantime, "Burt" has been taking up my money and extra time. I'm trying to get it ready for Oshkosh 2024! I'm going to be putting up some nice kits for sale very soon to get some money for a new flying suit. I hope all is well and happy flying!

TJTX Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 Problem Solved! I guess it was too big a file. Here is where all the free time goes these days. "Burt" is getting all tuned up and tweaked for the long haul to Oshkosh. And spending lots of time with my lovely yet rambunctious daughter! 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
