My analog epiphany

[anilva]

Technics SL1200 GAE is one of the best turntables out there. People have their own biases between DD, Idler and Belt drives. I would encourage you to try the SL1200GAE with a EMT TSD15 cartridge.

Cheers

I wrote an account of my audiophile world unravelling visit at Audio Lounge Mumbai.

I don't know where I will end up by (maybe) going all-analogue. (Almost) no digital right now, but let's see.

Currently attempting to fit an SPU on a technics TT......foolishness you say .......I Agree...... it's gonna be fun though.

Not a fan - all the technics DD are dry and sterile sounding including the new ones. Never enjoyed them. You will only hear it once you put a quality belt drive beside it.

The whole point of analog is emotional connection and at least for me, it fails badly in this.

The idlers are fine - garrard, lenco, td124.

An interesting discussion here..

I think we got side-tracked by analog vs digital and Technics-bashing.

Getting back on track, I heard that the newest iteration of the SME-30, the SME-35 supposedly a cheaper and better version of the SME-30 will be coming up for demo at Audio Lounge Mumbai next month.

Am looking forward to checking it out. Highly recommend the experience.
