“Finally, I turn to the Sheffield Labs direct-to-vinyl recording of Lincoln Mayorga & Distinguished Colleagues Vol. 3. You Are The Sunshine Of My Life is fast, clean and incredibly energetic. After the prolonged silence that follows the words “Alright, stand by!”, which somehow made it onto the lead-in groove, the players explode into action with all the adrenaline that comes from a live performance. The bass is meaty, tight and beautifully controlled. The saxophone is throaty and tuneful. Then the triangle kicks in and is crystal clear and perfectly positioned at the back of the group of musicians, adding a sparkle to the performance during the electric piano solo. This is a highly commendable rendition from an impressive turntable.”

Sikora Reference Turntable Review
April 13, 2016 Comments Off on Sikora Reference Turntable Review
“The M-700u taken alone is a powerful and subtle beast. It’s not quite as emotionally engaging as the best examples of the breed, but considerably more revealing than the majority. I particularly loved the combination of control and fine detail. There is no sense of the amp gripping the speaker, but the layers it uncovers in the mix show that distortion is being kept well at bay. It’s not an iron fist, but its grip is smooth and firm.”
TriangleART Symphony SE turntable and Osiris tonearm Review

“As we moved into more and more different kinds of music, I begin to notice something about his demeanor. When listening to the Beatles’ Love album, he was ready to move on to something else more quickly than normal. This also happened when I played a Kronus album. When I asked him about it, he at first, said he just wanted to hear more different kinds of music on the system. Then I put on Rachmaninoff’s Second Piano Concerto, and he was locked in again. Then he turned to me and said this combo seemed more sensitive to the quality of recordings than the AMG combo did.”

Platterless Turntable

“Audio Deva have a Kickstarter campaign for their €895 Atmo Sfera turntable (complete with arm and cartridge)… but the Atmo Sfera is no ordinary turntable because it doesn’t have the platter that would seem like a pretty essential part of any vinyl spinner.”
Sony PS-HX500 USB Turntable $600 Review
April 2, 2016 Comments Off on Sony PS-HX500 USB Turntable $600 Review
” The PS-HX500 achieves this by arriving with a pre-installed moving-magnet cartridge that’s already fully aligned and ready to go. Out of the box, all you have to do is install the platter while looping the rubber drive belt around the motor pulley and then top it off with its thick rubber mat. For the tonearm, you just put on the counterweight, balance the arm, and dial in the tracking force. The manual takes you through the steps if you’re not familiar with the process, but it’s designed so you can’t go too far wrong. Finally, you plug in the wall-wart power supply and audio output cables, and you’ll be ready to go. I double-checked the alignment of the cartridge and can report that it was installed perfectly, with absolutely spot-on overhang and zenith. The tracking force readout was accurate, and the anti-skating control dialed in the correct amount of bias.”
Transrotor JUPITER Turntable

” Platter is made of aluminum and it weight 7 kg. It features a vinyl mate on top, and the bottom of the platter is not flat, but has concentric rings, which improve its mechanical properties. Same solution is used in other Transrotor’s models, such as Zet 3, for example, although Jupiter uses a smaller, lighter version of the latter. Platter is placed on a large (Ø 60mm) bearing, that acts also as a subplatter. An AC motor should be placed next to the deck, on the same surface. Its housing is made of brass and is not particularly tall.”
