Lovely thread....a beautiful journey to poverty.

I take it all back now I have seen the true path.

...people spoke in reverence of the Breuer.

Even now I can't find a picture of one.

That's a nice one - makes a change from the norm.

Here's a few that caught my eye.

Audio Craft AC4400. On a tasty Verdier. Beautiful.

Brinkmann 10.5 (OK so it's a Breuer at heart but the engineering is superb)

Vpi JWM-10.5 - Another 10.5 - who would have thought it! Actually I've used these and they are way under rated unipivots IMO.

The Curvy Ikedas - another candidate for the ultimate Verdier package.

And the rather fetching new Ortofons - the return of the detachable head shell.

Ikeda IT407. Would love to try one of these.

 

[Purite Audio]

I have heard one of the Ikeda arms on several occasions at GT Audio, nicely made an sounded ok, and Thomas used one of the new Ortofon arms in Munich again it sounded very good for a reasonably priced component.

Keith, was the Ortofon on the cheaper Raven turntable?

 

[murray johnson]

One of the most impressive turntables I've ever heard was the Morsiani with this 12" arm.

Full picture

The turntable was superbly quiet, calm & stable sounding.
pictured here with his 1.9 arm.

Hi Murray,
When/where did you hear the Morsiani? I placed an order for a CM1 about 18 months ago but haven't heard from Carlo since (!) - do you know if he's still making tonearms etc? Tried several times to contact him via e-mail but no response.

Also 47 labs RS-A1:

Disclaimer: I dont even have a turntable, but this looks somehow original...

 

[murray johnson]

Hi Murray,
When/where did you hear the Morsiani?
:

I heard it & met him at probably the last High End show held in Frankfurt in an 'Audio Consulting' room.

Odd speakers but you could easily tell the turntable was quite special.

Keith, was the Ortofon on the cheaper Raven turntable?

I'm not Keith, but yes, with a protoype of the new Ortofon Per Winfield, due out later this year.

 

[Toride]

Thanks Murray. Will try again from a different e-mail address. How much do the turntables go for, by the way?

 

[Stereo Mic]

I'm not Keith, but yes, with a protoype of the new Ortofon Per Winfield, due out later this year.

In which case I'm impressed because it sounded better to my ears that the Raven AC with the more expensive arm and cart.
