What a delicious vinyl reply system.

Touraj demonstrated a very similar spec turntable recently at the Audiobarn. It was absolutely superb.

Enjoy! BF

That’s very nice!

How do you compare the two?

The Osawa OS 301 is quite cheap compared to the TLC.

The OS-301 is perhaps a secret tip… Basically does much the same as the TLC. The layer lags behind a bit, but otherwise very complete. Perhaps because it has a moving iron in it. And for 1/3 of the projs of the TLC.

It would also be interesting to see if the TLC is really a big leap from the Nagaoka MP150/200.

Hi Rushboy,
Never listen too a 150-200. But I can tell you the TLC will not disappoint. Neutral and musical…

Hi @Blackbird and @bruss, I was researching the Heed Quasar phonostage and your names popped up. Are either of you using one? I have a Heed Obselik PX powering my Canalot headphone amp. I could also run a Quasar off this, in place of my Rega Fono. Any thoughts/comments please?

I’ve had both Fono, Questar and Quasar where Quasar was my favourite. Great phono stage for the money. Lately I’ve used Lejonklou Slipsik 7.1 which is really great too. Never compared it to Quasar though.

Great, thanks for that. It could be a toss up between the Quasar and a Farad for the EE8 :flushed:

All those choices :smile::dizzy_face: Do both!

Cheaper than a ND555 :sunglasses:

Never liked the Exact mm cart. Apart from having distortion, it sounded flat with good mids but no lows or highs.

No Heed kit here and haven’t demoed any.
Edit. I did eventually go for the GoldNote ph10.

SPU Century, there was still one left in a German online dealership, as long as you didn’t select English as the language when it disappeared for some reason, I ordered it in French.
Sound is big bold and beautiful on my Korf, though the bias setting only goes up to 3 and I’m tracking at 3.95g. I’ve never heard Metallica’s first S&M orchestral release sound so convincing.

That looks very purposeful!

How’s the Korf arm working out?

Nice. Does this mean your noise issues are solved?
