Yeh, what you need on there is a good cart and decent arm...
There is a youtube vid of Mr Yorke being interviewed and his workshop in Spain - does seem like a nice chap. In fact here it is P.S. Simom (sq225917), I am ignoring your teasing ;-)
actually sat up with the man until 5 in the mornign listening to music and drinking the local produce. one of the nicest evenings i can remember!
Hi, Did he fly over here to set your deck up? or did you fly over there to pick it up? Or do you live in Spain? SCIDB
i flew over he set it up and showed me all the ins and outs. then we listened to that and many of his other toys including a few that i doubt many people have seen. went of rdinner for a couple of hours then back for more listening... for the late session! really top bloke. SCIDB!! we've actually met! i live in west london.
Hi Eric, We have met. I just thought you may have jumped ship to live in Spain. Well done on getting the deck. SCIDB
Thanks, It was nice to meet you at Heathrow. I keep thinking about the discussion we had regarding magnets. I'll drop you a pm.
the thought has crossed my mind... especially now! but no i'm still here. impressed you remembered my name! have to admit it's on the tip of my tongue, but can't quite remember yours... we did meet about 4 years ago after all!!! so far, the s9 is the most enjoyable recordplayer i've ever heard! it may not be totally acurate (though not far off), but it is infectious and fun! everything is just a joy on it... unless of course it isn't meant to be. i actually preferred it to the s10 back to back. the s10 is the most accurate thing i've heard but at the expense of fun. frankly especially now, i think we all need a little fun.
I think that this would be reader's wives pr0n, as this is my 'new' turntable: I can feel the eyes of my previous mistress staring jealously from behind as I take the photo.
Hi, It looks like a Basis signiture turntable. Not seen one for a long time. The current Basis turntables are made from clear Acrylic. This is the top model. SCIDB
It's a Basis Debut Gold Standard with an SME V and Koetsu Rosewood, a bit older than the Signature but lovely none the less - my photographic skills do not do it justice, by any means. I am awaiting a rack big and strong enough (it weighs close to 40 kilos) to accommodate it as my wall shelf is just not up to the job.
