Oh yes, I had contact and some discussions with Lou and his agent Julian Scharfman in Atlanta. Lou bought a touring motorcycle after cashing out his last brainchild to Peter Suchy and lived his dream.
I sure spent lots of time at FJA in my teens. Meeting folks there forever changed my audio direction.
It is a "classic". So is the Empire TT.
That's good as a second pair is at least 3 times as good as one pair. Really, much better than the sum of the parts.
I have a pair of these with Shane mods I use in balanced mono. They need refinishing but sound great.
Those are some fine looking amps. Somewhat spendy but the price does include domestic shipping. Seems the Western Electric Export Company is trying to make a go of in the high end audio world with the general availability of the 300B next month. (or is that info on their site a year or two old).
How does your Teac Magnefloat compare with your SP10? I'm curious. TIA.
They have different cartridges, so I can't really say sound wise. But the Technics is much heavier and with a more robust motor that can't be slowed. It's just better overall. But they both sound and work great and I recommend them both. The Teac is a fine machine too.
sqlsavior. I just noticed you have a TN-400 for you're avatar. Do you own one, what arm and base do you use and how well do you like it?
