This one by chance?

Try it against his Brinkmann.

It was the Brinkmann that first caught my eye actually.
And it will be a lot cheaper.

GPA Monaco of interest?

He lives around the corner from me but I have heard he is hard to deal with. Itā€™s a t/t that is top class but sold without arm (Tri-Planer).

I heard one sounding excellent with a Kuzma 4 Point arm, but less so with a Rigid Float. I think Roy Gregory review it with a Triplanar

A guy has a Tri-planar for sale on PFM, wonderful arms, the best for sensible ish money.

That is actually nice. :+1:

He doesnā€™t want to sell it till the TTā€™s gone.:poop:

If the Kuzma fits thatā€™s the one I would go for.

It was a great sounding combination, absolutely solid but also musical. I think it had a Fuga MC on when I heard it.
Choosing between those decks is a nice problem :smiley:

Is that the Fuuga cart?

Yeah that one as well :roll_eyes:

That is one fine cartridge.

It is indeed. I think it was the combination Kevin had in the LV room at Munich this year: Monaco, Kuzma, Fuuga

Zontek Turntable with 14ā€ Delta arms.

I like most of the fugly turntables but just couldnā€™t look at that everyday.

Is there a material they didnā€™t use?

Why does it look like it has had an accident with a bandsaw?

Are you talking about Richard? Iā€™ve never had an issue with him and have bought a few things off him, is he still living in Sunbury, had a nice big victorian house full of hifi toys?

I am talking about Audiofreaks and the address is in Ham, Richmond
He is Slovenian?

someone completely different then, saw a ref to Lotus hifi and thought you meant Richard.
