Good morning friends,
I hv been surfing through and looking at either a TT from PROJECT or TECHNICS or the easy REGA Planar 3 (or any of their likes) in India (pref around New Delhi). Hence need your guidance, since some of you have a passion for the tables yourself. I listen to mellow jazz, soul, easy intrumentals.
Now, here are some points that i could gather, which i would want to discuss
aa) I reckon that Projects dont usually have pitch control while most Technics have. Is that a plus point?
bb) I have read at places that Project TTs especially the Project II Experience range has issues with the speed, which then needs to be adjusted by fiddling with the belt? Is that a common thing with TTs?
cc) I am being advised of "Project II experience" with the original Tone arm & Rondo Red cartridge ..what do you feel its price should be & negatives about the model. (i found it reasonable per its specs. The TT is about less than yr old)
dd) 'Rondo Red' has received mixed response from audiophiles. Most preferred is Rondo Black cartridge that you shall definitely be aware of.
ee) I also understand that the tone arm of the "Project II Experience" doesnt really work well to cater antiskating issues and that some more weight needs to be put to tweak it. I was quite frankly intimdated reading this.
Basis the points above that i could gather from reviews on net, i seek your guidance on which models i should keep as options AND if i could pick a second hand or a fresh one. i have also posted this in an old thread, but assumed that a fresh post could help me reach better audience and a better guidance.
Kindly do give details about vendors, re-sellers that you may know of.
Many thanks
Sid
